xpather.pl looks like it will prove really useful. Thanks!
I'm drifting way off topic here, but what I've got now is probably the most inefficient way of dealing with the problem:
My XML looks like this:
<user>
<address name="1">
<entry name="Address line 1">street</entry>
<entry name="Address line 2">suburb</entry>
<entry name="Postal code">code</entry>
</address>
<address name="2">
<entry name="Address line 1">street2</entry>
<entry name="Address line 2">suburb2</entry>
<entry name="Postal code">code2</entry>
</address>
</user>
I want to extract each of those address lines into variables, so I'm doing this:
my ( $addr_1_line_1, $addr_1_line_2 );
for my $node ( $user->findnodes( q{ ./*[ local-name()="address"
and @name = "1"] } )) {
for my $subnode ( $node->findnodes(
q{ ./*[ @name="Address line 1" ] } ) ) {
$addr_1_line_1 = $subnode->textContent();
}
for my $subnode ( $node->findnodes( q{ ./*[
@name="Address line 2" ] } ) ) {
$addr_1_line_2 = $subnode->textContent();
}
}
It does appear to work, but is there a more efficient way of doing this? |
