Re: XML::LibXML- Escape Empty Tags

What all have you tried? I would start with

$node->textContent;
[download]

$tree->findnodes("//imageURL_med/text()");
[download]

I don't think the second will work, because I don't think there's a text node to match.	[reply]

So I guess you didn't try anything? It seemed from the code you posted that you were somewhat familiar with XML::LibXML. Anyway, if you want to access text try (in your loop): `$child->textContent;` [download] Or if you want to get the text node try (anywhere after you parse the file): `$tree->findnodes("//imageURL_med/text()");` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I ve just discovered the module yesterday and tried to actually output something :D, after reading quite few things i tried the hasChild function to check if there is data in those tag but couldn't make it work,. So i ve tried but my knowledge and skills are very limited. Thanks for the tip though	[reply]
