Re^2: XML parsing and Lists

[madbee]

Thanks for responding.I was not aware of XPathContext module in LibXML. I was trying to use XML::XPath directly and got into an infinite loop of installation issues which I could not get past.

I will try using this approach. Basically, I have to create a array of nodes for the path:

    $parser = XML::LibXML->new;    
    $dom = $parser->parse_file($file);
    
    $root = $dom->getDocumentElement;
    $dom->setDocumentElement($root);
    

    my $xc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new($file);
    my @nodes=$xc->findnodes('//Article//Part//Sect//H5[ contains(.,"I
+nclude")]',$dom);



if (@nodes)
{
$count = $xc->findvalue('count(//Article//Part//Sect//LI)',$dom);
    print $count;
}

Am I on the right track? Anything I'm missing?

Thanks much.
