Full Discussion: A simpler XML tool
The Lounge What is on Your Mind? A simpler XML tool Post 302566917 by Corona688 on Friday 21st of October 2011 12:37:26 PM
Old 10-21-2011
I'm trying to build a simple XML-manipulation tool. Very simple -- no DTD -- possibly not even validating.

The point is to easily match and extract and rearrange tags from inside nested context. "item.title" there extracts <title> tags and any contents in them, only when found directly inside <item> tags. You could do "^html.head.title" to extract title attributes from webpages, "table" to extract anything inside tables, and maybe "tag:key=value" to match tags where key='value' and anything inside.

I'm still thinking on how exactly to work the syntax but hope this explains the idea.

exfalso(1)						      General Commands Manual							exfalso(1)

NAME
exfalso - audio tag editor SYNOPSIS
exfalso [ directory ] DESCRIPTION
Ex Falso displays and edits audio metadata tags. Supported formats include MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (MPC), WavPack, and MOD/XM/IT. This manual page is only a short reference for Ex Falso. Complete documentation is available at http://code.google.com/p/quodli- bet/wiki/Guide. OPTIONS
Ex Falso may be given a directory to open on the command line. TIED TAGS
Many places in Ex Falso allow you to use "tied tags". Tied tags are two tag names joined together with a "~" like "title~version" or "album~part". Tied tags result in "nice" displays even when one of the tags is missing; for example, "title~version" will result in Title - Version when a version tag is present, but only Title when one isn't. You can tie any number of tags together. RENAMING FILES
Ex Falso allows you to rename files based on their tags. In some cases you may wish to alter the filename depending on whether some tags are present or missing, in addition to their values. A common pattern might be <tracknumber>. <title~version> You can use a '|' to only text when a tag is present: <tracknumber|<tracknumber>. ><title~version> You can also specify literal text to use if the tag is missing by adding another '|': <album|<album>|No Album> - <title> See http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/wiki/Guide_Renaming. BUGS
See http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/list for a list of all currently open bugs and feature requests. AUTHORS
Joe Wreschnig and Michael Urman are the primary authors of Ex Falso. SEE ALSO
