Python Forum

Hello. I'm struggling with a school project. I'm fairly new to Python, and I'm hoping for some great suggestions to solve my problem.

What I am trying to achieve is to simplify an operation up against the BIM program Solibri. By creating a script to, among other things, automate rule checking. Today one is dependent on a bat.file and an xml.file. the bat file opens the xml file and runs the references located there.
The references in the xml file are entered manually. What I hope to achieve is to create a script that retrieves the references automatically from given folders.

The text below show the bat file and the xml file.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Sincerely, Jan.

The bat-file

@ECHO off

ECHO Thank you for using Autorun
ECHO Autorun is running...

REM You can modify the line below to suit your needs.
"C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Solibri.exe" "C:\Users\Desktop\Solibri Autorun\autorun.xml"

exit



the xml-file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<batch name="Simple Batch" default="root">
<!-- This is the starting task -->
<target name="root">

<openmodel
file="C:\Users\Desktop\Solibri Autorun\IFC\HJ3_Modell.ifc" />

show what you have tried (python code).

Thanks for reply.

Som nevnt er jeg ny til koding. For dette prosjektet har jeg i hovedsak brukt Sublime Text 3 og tkinter.
I do not have much. Just breadcrumbs that I have tried to put together, without success. I have tried different features but not found the right one. I know what I want the function to be.

I'm not looking for a conclusion. Just set in the right direction.

I add what I have, but I know it's wrong and it does not work.

Sincerely, Jan.

# Importerer tkinter. Dette følger med, er innebygd i Python
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk,Image
from tkinter import filedialog

# Dette må stå først

# Endre overskriften på boksen

Please show your code cause its a lot difficult to understand what are trying to say now without proper code.
Thanks
