( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi anshumangoyal,

I have had minimal experience with xml, however, do any of these questions help locate the issue;

  • Given the match for 'NA' is case insensitive,
    • Are all the rows of different column lengths?
    • Are the 'NA's entered by hand?
    • Could a different approach to the match help, such as matching for m/^[cqi|nom|sim|etc...]/?
  • What kind of value is $Searchkey?
    • Does $Searchkey require the final "/" to match the xpath element?
    • Is $Searchkey a regex? would it need to be compiled as "qr/".$Searchkey."/"?
    • if so would be beter to compile with a) single quotes and b) non path delimiters eg 'qr#'.$Searchkey.'#'
    • have you tried printing out the $Searchkey values to see what is being matched?

I hope these prompts can help towards debugging.

My hunch, is that the match cuts off after the first element as you are using the forward slash as your match delimiter. By using a different delimiter for the matching may resolve this because paths are delimited by the forward slashes the same as are used to delimit matches.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
