Hello everyone, this is my code.

from lxml import etree import glob, os

os.chdir("c:\XMLFolder") directory = os.getcwd()

findText = input("Enter text you would like to find: ") replacementText = input ("Now enter the text you would like to replace with: ")

for files in glob.glob("*.xml"): file = etree.parse(files) root = file.getroot() for pointers in root.findall("pointers"): for pointer in pointers: pointer = pointers.findall("Pointer") for text in pointer: text = pointer.findall("text").text if findText in text: text.replace(findText, replacementText) print(findText + " has been replaced with " + replacementText)

file.write(files)

I was wondering how I would be able to ge this working.

pointer = pointers.findall("Pointer") for text in pointer: text = pointer.findall("text").text

this is the main problem. I want to find all the Pointer in each pointers and each text in each Pointer. Findall will only work for the top and when I remove the findall for the bottom two, It only searches the first Pointer and not any of the others. Please help.

The language is python.
