( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi All

I am a newbie and require some help

I am parsing an XML file for errors, the format is as follows

<errors> <error> <desc></desc> </error> </errors>

I would like to be able to print the description of the error, the problem I have is that when there is only one error my script bombs out with a Not an ARRAY reference. It works perfectly fine when there is two errors in the XML file

my current code is:

my $errorArray = $data->{errors}; foreach my $error ( @{ $errorArray->{error} } ) { print NEW "$error->{desc}\n"; }

ONE ERROR:

HASH(0x7fb3d8973fa8) $VAR1 = { 'desc' => 'Slave not running' };

TWO ERRORS:

ARRAY(0x7ffc84006ad0) $VAR1 = [ { 'desc' => 'Slave not running' }, { 'desc' => 'TEST123' } ];

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Nick

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
