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

Hi Monks,

I am trying to parse some URL with HTML TreeBuilder XPATH.

I retrieve an URL using LWP UserAgent which is loaded to $response->content.

Here's the code that loads that variable to a $tree instance:

my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new; $tree->parse($response->content); my $t = $tree->findnodes(qq{/html/body/form/div}); print $t->size;

If I print the content of $response->content to a plain html file and open it using Firefox, the total amount of /html/body/form/div's is 19.

However, printing $t->size results in only 12..

Why is this happening??

$tree is ignoring most of my divs and so I can't retrieve data from them....

Thanks!

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
