removeDomNodes with for Loop

Hi,

Below is the portion of the XML request that I am manuplating using groovy script.

<Accounts>
    <account recordId="1">
    <account recordId="2">
    <account recordId="3">
    <account recordId="4">
    <account recordId="5">
<Accounts>


Based on a value ranging from 1-5 (which I read from a file), I will have to remove the Domnodes. For eg. If the value is 3, then I will have to remove nodes 4 and 5.

I have the below groovy script but what I observe is that it does not remove all the nodes as the position of the nodes change when the loop is exeuted for the first loop value. 

def ReqHolder2 = grUtils.getXmlHolder("Modified#Request")

def count =  ReqHolder2.getDomNodes('//ARCAAccountReportBatch[1]/Accounts[1]/Account').size()

log.info(count)

noAccounts = Integer.parseInt (context.expand( '${DataSource#noAccounts}' )) ///numeric value I read from the file

for (i in noAccounts+1..count)
{
ReqHolder2.removeDomNodes("//ARCAAccountReportBatch[1]/Accounts[1]/Account[$i]")
}

ReqHolder2.updateProperty()





On exeuting this (with the noAccounts = 2), I get the below updated XML request 

<Accounts>
    <account recordId="1">
    <account recordId="2">
    <account recordId="3">

    <account recordId="5">
<Accounts>


I would apprecite if anyone could help me with the solution.

Thank you.

    Xml snippet you post isn't well formed.
    Would you mind posting complete response? Is it true that always you read single value from file?

    Thank you for you response nmrao.

    soapUI structure:

    Datasource
    Original
    GroovyScript
    Modified

    Original Request

    attached is the original request.xml

    Groovy Script:

    def grUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)

    noAccounts = Integer.parseInt (context.expand( '${DataSource#noAccounts}' ))
    def fileNo = context.expand( '${DataSource#FileNumber}' )

    //Copy XML content form one request to another (IDM_Original to IDM_Modified)

    def ts = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Original")
    def ts2 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Modified")

    String content = ts.getHttpRequest().getRequestContent()
    ts2.getHttpRequest().setRequestContent(content)


    //Removing Account Nodes

    def ReqHolder2 = grUtils.getXmlHolder("Modified#Request")

    def count = ReqHolder2.getDomNodes('//ARCAAccountReportBatch[1]/Accounts[1]/Account').size()


    log.info(count)

    if (noAccounts <= 4)
    {
    log.info("intheloop")


    for (i in noAccounts+1..5)

    {
    log.info("//ARCAAccountReportBatch[1]/Accounts[1]/Account[$i]")
    log.info("inloop"+i)
    ReqHolder2.removeDomNodes("//ARCAAccountReportBatch[1]/Accounts[1]/Account[$i]")

    }

    }

    else

    {
    log.info("is-11")
    }

    ReqHolder2.updateProperty()

    //write the request and response to a file

    def inputFileRequest = new File("V:\\AccountCreation_XMLs\\"+ "Account_" + fileNo+".xml")
    def request = grUtils.getXmlHolder(context.expand( '${Modified#Request}')).getPrettyXml()
    inputFileRequest.write(request)

    //log.info(grUtils.getXmlHolder(context.expand( '${Modified#Request}')).getPrettyXml())


    Modified Request:

    See attached modified request.xml

    No, the values changes everytime.

    The objective is to create 100+ xml request with different account size. eg..some having only 2, some having 3 etc..

    Thank you.
