Hi Roland
Exactly, the parts visible that are listed in the keyframe, for example:

I found now one of my previous attempt to extract data from pvi with node.js /javascript. required some libs /standard , I think these libs are also availible for javascript in generally - I need to check more detailed in stackoverflow.
var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');
xml2js = require('xml2js');
var parser = new xml2js.Parser();
for example that I used to extracting the steps from pvi file e.g.:
[
{
"stepNumber": 0,
"step_name_locid": "stepName_2728332481823371952_2",
"step_name": "Assemble",
"step_acknowledge": "false",
"step_description_locid": "",
"step_description": ""
},
{
"stepNumber": 1,
"step_name_locid": "stepName_5894254086109201976_2",
"step_name": "Step 1",
"step_acknowledge": "false",
"step_description_locid": "",
"step_description": ""
},
....
where I used that code:
//======== myStepTool.js
let figureName = "Assemble"
let xmlFileName ="l-Creo 3D - " +figureName+".pvi"
let jsonFileName = figureName+".json"
//name is "l-Creo 3D - Assemble.pvi"
//=================================
var request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');
let myXmlData=[]
let myArr = []
let myJsonArr = []
let TempjsonObj={stepNumber: 0 , step_name_locid: "" ,
step_name:"",step_acknowledge:false,
step_description_locid:"",step_description:""}
xml2js = require('xml2js');
var parser = new xml2js.Parser();
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/'+xmlFileName, function(err, data) {
parser.parseString(data, function (err, result) {
//console.dir(result);
let seq_s=result['galaxy_3di:figure']['galaxy_3di:sequence']
//console.log(JSON.stringify(seq_s))
//console.dir( seq_s[0]['galaxy_3di:sequence_step'] )
//console.log( seq_s )
console.log('Done');
let prop_animats=seq_s[0]['galaxy_3di:sequence_step']
prop_animats.forEach(el_function1)
});
console.info("jsonArray\n=================\n")
console.log(JSON.stringify(myJsonArr))
fs.writeFileSync(__dirname + '/'+jsonFileName, JSON.stringify(myJsonArr, null, 2) , 'utf-8');
});
function el_function1(item, index, arr) {
let jsonObj= JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(TempjsonObj))
jsonObj.stepNumber= index;
myArr[index] = item['galaxy_3di:property']
//console.log("myArr["+index+"] = "+myArr[index])
//console.dir(myArr[index])
//console.log("myArr["+index+"][1][\'$\'].value = "+myArr[index][1]['$'].value)
console.log("myArr["+index+"] ["+ myArr[index][0]['$'].name+ "] = "+myArr[index][0]['$'].value)
jsonObj.step_name_locid = myArr[index][0]['$'].value
console.log("myArr["+index+"] ["+ myArr[index][1]['$'].name+ "] = "+myArr[index][1]['$'].value)
jsonObj.step_name = myArr[index][1]['$'].value
console.log("myArr["+index+"] ["+ myArr[index][2]['$'].name+ "] = "+myArr[index][2]['_'])
jsonObj.step_acknowledge = myArr[index][2]['_']
console.log("myArr["+index+"] ["+ myArr[index][3]['$'].name+ "] = "+myArr[index][3]['$'].value)
jsonObj.step_description_locid = myArr[index][3]['$'].value
console.log("myArr["+index+"] ["+ myArr[index][4]['$'].name+ "] = "+myArr[index][4]['$'].value)
jsonObj.step_description = myArr[index][4]['$'].value
myJsonArr.push(jsonObj)
}
demo files attached to that post - means demo pvi the extracted text files and the js code in myStepTool.js. That code was tested in node.js evirment
OK here the code will extract only the step attribute (for all pvi files in the current directory) but I think when the parser could adapted so to extract any data what is in the pvi file but need to check more detailed , it was some time ago where I tested it. So the quesiton what of data what you want to have and you want to extract. Possibly if you could provide a short pvi example file and sample demo file txt what the extracted file should contain so in this case I could try to test and to modfy it so to achieve that . so possibly it could work. Thanks BR
