Splitting XML file into multiple at given tags

Question

I want to split a XML file into multiple files. My workstation is very limited to Eclipse Mars with Xalan 2.7.1.

I can also use Python, but never used it before.

Answer 1

This is the code which works perfect.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

context = ET.iterparse('filname.xml', events=('end', ))
for event, elem in context:
if elem.tag == 'row':
    title = elem.find('NAME').text
    filename = format(title + ".xml")
    with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
        f.write("\n")
        f.write("\n")
        f.write(ET.tostring(elem))
        f.write("")
