  Issue with replacing xml nodes

  Jul 09, 2014 01:36 PM|Chithra_Iyer|LINK

  I want to replace the entire token node from the below xml 

  <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Header>
      <s:Context xmlns="urn:jspin:xu:services:schema:message:common:jspindata:v01">
        <RequestId>uuid:b638ad89-c6db-4774-b8f0-40d3cd36ccd6</RequestId>
      </s:Context>
      <s:MetaData xmlns:h="urn:jspin:xu:services:schema:message:common:jspindata:v01">
        <ID xmlns="urn:jspin:xu:services:schema:message:common:jspinmsdata:v01">InsPortal</ID>
      </s:MetaData>
      <h:Token s:mustUnderstand="1" h="urn:jspin:xu:services:schema:message:common:jspindata:v01">
          <SysToken wsu:Id="44e314f6-f4aa-4773-94ee-b527aeecfc3e"/>
          <User>test</User>
          <Created>2014-07-09T17:13:14Z</Created>
       </h:Token>
    </s:Header>
  </s:Envelope>

  
  I tried using XMldocument and Xdoc for this but not getting the entire node.Also i want to replace the  entire Token node with a different Token node from another XML.

  You can use RegularExpression to find and replace entire node from the xml. Below is the example you can use to do same.

  public String FindAndReplaceXmlNode(String xml, String element, String defaultValue)
  {
       //(<h:Token)[\S\s]*(/h:Token>)
       String RegExpression = String.Format(@"(<{0})[\S\s]*(/{0}>)", element);
       var replacedXml = Regex.Replace(xml, RegExpression, "<NewNode>TEST</NewNode>", RegexOptions.Multiline);
       return replacedXml;
  }

  Thanks,

  Hi Chithra_lyer,

  First ,I add your xml file to my project ,it hint me that the xml is not valid.

  Second, you can use linq to xml to get the entire node. and replace your Token node with other's value.

  I write a sample for you:

  here is my test.xml file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <w:test xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml">
    <w:DocumentProperties>
      <Title>title</Title>
      <Author>xyz</Author>
      <LastAuthor>pqr</LastAuthor>
    </w:DocumentProperties>
  </w:test>

  Below you can  find DocumentPropertites , and replace the value in the subnode in it.

  for example ,set the  Title value from "title" to "hello".

              // load the xml to memory
              XElement ex = XElement.Load(Server.MapPath("test.xml"));
              //get the namespace  in your xml file,so that you can find the DocumentProperties
              XNamespace xn = ex.GetNamespaceOfPrefix("w");
  
             //find all the Elements in w:DocumentProperties Node.
              IEnumerable<XElement> q = from ele in ex.Elements(xn + "DocumentProperties")
                                        select ele;
  
              foreach (XElement x in q.Elements())
              {
                   //find the Title Node
                  if (x.Name == "Title") {
                      //set value to Title node
                      x.Value = "hello";
                  }
              }
              ex.Save(Server.MapPath("test.xml"));
          }
