I have code that successfully creates a desired XML file from a provided CSV file. However, I'm trying to format it to be easier to read. I want the list of "triggers" and list of "messages" to be separated by a blank line and each "trigger" and each "message" should have its own line. Trying to use minidom, but the "pretty" file loses the triggers for some reason.
Code:
Code:
import csv

import tkinter as tk

from xml.dom import minidom

root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw() # Hide main window
# Prompt for CSV file
csv_file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename(title="Select 'Tag Export' CSV file", filetypes=[("CSV files", "*.csv")])
if not csv_file_path:
print("No file selected.")
return
# Prompt for PLC Shortcut with default value
plc_shortcut = simpledialog.askstring("Input", "Enter PLC Shortcut (STRING):", initialvalue="SCP", parent=root)
if not plc_shortcut:
print("PLC Shortcut not provided.")
return
# Prompt for Starting Trigger ID with default value
starting_trigger_id = simpledialog.askinteger("Input", "Enter Starting Trigger ID (INT):", initialvalue=1, parent=root)
