( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Does anyone know what I would need to do to loop through each item under inbox?

Sure. Determine what $d looks like and then walk that data structure.

use Data::Dump::Streamer; my $xml = XML::Simple->new(); my $d = $xml->XMLin("sample.xml",ForceArray => 1, KeepRoot => 1); Dump $d;

Gives

$HASH1 = { inbox => [ { item => [ { description => [ 'Bar' ], title => [ 'Foo' ] }, { description => [ 'Foobar' ], title => [ 'Baz' ] } ] } ] };

Now, for that sample XML it seems to have lots of redundant hashes and arrays if what you care about are the items. So, maybe don't use the extra options:

my $d = $xml->XMLin("sample.xml");

Gives:

$HASH1 = { item => [ { description => 'Bar', title => 'Foo' }, { description => 'Foobar', title => 'Baz' } ] };

So with that, $d->{item} would appear to be an AOH. Loop through it like this:

for my $item ( @{ $d->{item} } ) { print "$item->{title}\n"; # for example }

  • 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).
