Question

I have a xml file like below:

<alarms rootMIB="1" source="PLATFORM">
<alarm alarmCode="123" alarmMIBName="chassde">
        <alarmObject>CHASSIS</alarmObject>
        <alarmType>equipmentAlarm</alarmType>
        <probableCause>equipmentMalfunction</probableCause>
        <description>Report</description>
</alarm>
</alarms>

And I can get the attribute of “alarmCode” and “alarmMIBName” by below code:

import xml.dom.minidom
for alarm_tag in dom.getElementsByTagName('alarm'):
    if alarm_tag.hasAttribute('alarmMIBName'):
            alarmmibname = str(alarm_tag.getAttribute('alarmMIBName'))

But I also want to print the whole line that hasAttribute ‘alarmMIBName’, that is the line:

<alarm alarmCode="123" alarmMIBName="chassde">

Could anyone tell me how to print the whole line?
Thanks a lot!

This works for me

alarm_tag.toxml().split("\n")[0]
