Re: XML::Parser Tutorial

in reply to XML::Parser Tutorial

How can I select data that's nested but have the same tag names in another section of the xml? With the xml formed like this, the parser will get all information tagged with "message", rather than getting just ones in "urgent" and/or "update". Should I just start another parse instance in the start handler?

<MAILBAG>
    <urgent>
        <message author="PatrickHenry" time="20010228212953">Now is th
+e time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.</message>
    </urgent>
    <update>
        <message author="OeufMayo" time="20010228112952">test</message
+>
        <message author="deprecated" time="20010228113142">pong</messa
+ge>
    </update>
</MAILBAG>

The easiest thing to do would be to not use XML::Parser directly. Otherwise you'd have to keep track of what start/end tags you've seen.	[reply]
