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

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.
