XML parsing - nodes and connections

AByrne

Hi all,

 

I am new to looking at XML formatting, but what I want to do I think should be quite straightforward.

 

I am looking to essentially pull out two clear tables from an Alteryx workflow (read into another as a xml). Firstly, I am looking for a list of all tools/notes, showing the Tool ID and the type (Select/Formula/etc.). Secondly, I am looking for a clear list of all connections in the workflow, showing essentially Input tool(s) and Output tools(s).

 

I thought I had managed this as I made a trivial workflow with just a few tools, however when I tried on a bigger workflow what I did broke due to the nested xml formatting of childnodes.

 

If that ask makes sense, can anyone help? I have had trouble in trying to google this as there are so many related hits for xml and other items, so I'm a bit lost.

 

Thanks!
