Thank you ver much for your reply, this seems to be a nice way, but unfortunately does not work.

The site I'm using does not embed the XML-file in HTML-tags, therefore there is no "body" tag to be used for the extract. However, Chrome provides some basic HTML-structure even if a plain XML-file is provided by the server and I could grab the class "pretty-print" to extract the XML-details but as I am usually using firefox this does not work. In addition to this the XML-file contains > 5.000 entries so working on the "body" tag or "pretty-print" class does take a very long time...

Isn't there any other solution to save the whole website to a local file instead of grabbing only defined parts of it?

Thank you very much for your support,

Hi there,

I managed using a VBA script within Excel with the Selenium Add-on to login to a website and everything works fine.

After I am logged a XML-file is loaded in the Browser which I want to download to a local file to be further analyzed in Excel.

How can I download the XML-file line by line or otherwise the full website to a file using Selenium? Currently all efforts to scrape the contents failed because I do not get a match with the FindElemenyBy... methods - the information displayed is XML and not HTML :-(

Do you have any idea how I can save the XML file to a local file?

Thank you very much for your support on this issue.
