Converting XML to CSV
Hello,


For i while i have been using XMLStarlet to convert several XML files to CSV files. So far this always went fine.


Today however i got a new XML format however but i cannot find out how to get the data i need.


Below is part of the code where it shows the different format. What i expect is the following:


Code:
idpurchaseorder;idsupplier;purchaseorderid;idproduct;productcode;price;amount;amountreceived

Code:
<searchresults>
  <success>true</success>
  <rate-limit-remaining>498</rate-limit-remaining>
  <data>
    <idpurchaseorder>373251</idpurchaseorder>
    <idsupplier>42919</idsupplier>
    <idwarehouse>4863</idwarehouse>
    <idtemplate>3994</idtemplate>
    <purchaseorderid>PO2019-1008</purchaseorderid>
    <supplier_orderid>09-09-2019</supplier_orderid>
    <supplier_name></supplier_name>
    <status>purchased</status>
    <remarks></remarks>
    <delivery_date>2019-09-14</delivery_date>
    <language>nl</language>
    <purchased_by_iduser>6407</purchased_by_iduser>
    <purchased_at>2019-09-10 09:31:37</purchased_at>
    <completed_by_iduser></completed_by_iduser>
    <completed_at></completed_at>

      <productcode_supplier>34556WDR09</productcode_supplier>
      <name>Product 2</name>
      <price>999</price>
      <amount>1</amount>
      <amountreceived>0</amountreceived>
      <delivery_date></delivery_date>
      <weight>0</weight>
    </products>
    <products>
      <idpurchaseorder_product>5272745</idpurchaseorder_product>
      <idproduct>10304135</idproduct>
      <idvatgroup>9520</idvatgroup>
      <productcode>P00020201</productcode>
      <productcode_supplier>345345074</productcode_supplier>
      <name>Productname</name>
      <price>99</price>
      <amount>1</amount>
      <amountreceived>0</amountreceived>
      <delivery_date></delivery_date>
      <weight>0</weight>
    </products>
  </data>
 </searchresults>

What i tried are the following with the results of (part of all the needed columns to keep it easier to read) the above piece.


Code:
xmlstarlet sel -t -m //searchresults/data -v "concat(idpurchaseorder,';',products/idproduct)" -n purchaseorders.xml

this above gave me:
Code:
373251;10307107
373062;10304708 <-- here should be a second line with the second column different id

then i tried the following line:


Code:
xmlstarlet sel -t -m //searchresults/data -v idpurchaseorder -o " ; " -v products/idproduct -n purchaseorders.xml

and this gave me the output below

Code:
373251 ; 10307107
373062 ; 10304708
10304135 <-- here is the idpurchaseorder missing from the first column but it does have both products listed

What i expect would be the following result from the testdata (i can add the other needed data myself if needed) above:

Code:
373251;10307107
373062;10304708
373062;10304135

Does anyone know the correct way of getting the data requested? If it is a other way then XMLStarlet it is fine although that is the easiest so far for me.
