How do i read the all the text within in the \[code\]<context>...</context>\[/code\] tag? And how about the \[code\]<head>...<\head>\[/code\] tag within the \[code\]<context \>\[/code\] tag?I've an XML file that looks like this:\[code\]<corpus lang="english"> <lexelt item="coach.n"> <instance id="1"> <context>I'll buy a train or <head>coach</head> ticket.</context> </instance> <instance id="2"> <context>A branch line train took us to Aubagne where a <head>coach</head> picked us up for the journey up to the camp.</context> </instance> </lexelt></corpus>\[/code\]But when i ran my code to read the XML text within the ..., I'm only getting the text until i reach the tag. \[code\]import xml.etree.ElementTree as et inputfile = "./coach.data" root = et.parse(open(inputfile)).getroot()instances = []for corpus in root: for lexelt in corpus: for instance in lexelt: instances.append(instance.text)j=1for i in instances: print "instance " + j print "left: " + i print "\n" j+=1\[/code\]Now I'm just getting the left side:\[code\]instance 1left: I'll buy a train or instance 2left: A branch line train took us to Aubagne where a \[/code\]The output needs also the right side of the context and the head, it should be:\[code\]instance 1left: I'll buy a train or head: coachright: ticket.instance 2left: A branch line train took us to Aubagne where a head: coachright: picked us up for the journey up to the camp.\[/code\]
