Subject: Re: Creating New Objects from REXML::Elements

Here is the full Ruby code:

require 'rexml/document'
include REXML

class DeliciousLibrary

  #usual_path is the path of the DL XML file (until v2). Unless this
script is on a server, this works.
  @@usual_path = "#{ENV['HOME']}/Library/Application Support/Delicious
Library/Library Media Data.xml"

  @@medium_covers = "#{ENV['HOME']}/Library/Application
Support/Delicious Library/Medium Covers/" #requires UUID for
identification

  def initialize(file = @@usual_path)
    @library = Document.new(File.new(file))
    @movies = Array.new
  end

  def get_library_as_xml
    @library.root
  end

  def get_movies
    temp = @library.root
    temp.elements.each('items/movie') { |movie|
        @movies.push(Movie.new(movie.attributes['uuid'].to_str,
movie.attributes['fullTitle'], movie.attributes['asin'],
movie.attributes['mpaarating'], movie.attributes['minutes'],
movie.attributes['published'], movie.attributes['price']))
        puts movie.attributes['fullTitle']
      }
  end

  def get_shelves
    @library.root.elements['items/shelves']
  end



end

class Movie
  #Some Supplimental Classes
  def initialize(uuid, fullTitle, asin, mpaarating, minutes, published,
price)
    @uuid = uuid
    @fullTitle = fullTitle
    @asin = asin
    @mpaarating = mpaarating
    @minutes = minutes
    @published = published
    @price = price
  end
  attr_reader :uuid, :fullTitle, :asin, :mpaarating, :minutes,
:published, :price
end

The XML file is about 7000 lines long, os here's a snippet. i don't
think you really want 7000 lines of code listed anyway.

<movie asin="B000BW7QWW" aspect="DVD" country="us" created="188189008"

Thanks for the help.
