Hi Monks, I have a question for you, Pls can you suggest a solution for this...?

In a folder I have some 25 XML files . In some XML files the end tag is missing, so that it is not validating. I need to check whether it is having the end tag and if it is not there need to add it.

The sample XML file is below, and in some cases it is missing the last </main> tag. I need to check whether it is present there and if not there add it...

 <main> 
<tag1> </tag1>
<tag2> </tag2>
<tag3> </tag3>
</main>

Any possibilities Monks? Hope you can help(Also note that I am not a Perl programmer!) Thanks in advance!

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.
