Trivially, you should factor out the hardcoded "fileName.xml" and adhere to the style guide (four space indents, snake_case variables, etc.)

Sorry, overwrote output with file in my last edit, corrected. I don't know what you mean about the code not executing, that part of the code is copy pasted (just with comments removed) and it works as intended, I just want a more concise way of writing it

I've added further context, hopefully this is enough to explain how the current script works. I'm more or less happy with the rest, it's the clearFile function that I feel could be greatly improved

Updated context

What I was asking was more how are they defined rather than what they are. Is your snipet of code the body of a function where path, beginDelete, stopDelete, and output are parameters? Or is it just a part of your module, verbatim, and these variables are defined earlier? In short, as @SuperBiasedMan said, give us context.

I've changed file to outout, it's simply the file that the output is being written too. As stated in the explanation the beginDelete and stopDelete are the tags that surround the lines that should be deleted (this tag is a variable that is specified when the script starts).

This code is incomplete. What are beginDelete and stopDelete (assuming '<bad>' and '</bad>' from your input file, but who knows). I would also bet that file has nothing to do with the builtin, so what is it?
