( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I haven't worked with XML::DOM before (I usually use XML::Smart), but here's a working example that extracts the zipcode field from the example data you provided:
use strict; use warnings; use XML::DOM; my $xml = ''; $xml .= $_ for <DATA>; my $parser = XML::DOM::Parser->new; my $doc = $parser->parse($xml); my $result_list = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Result'); my $result_count = $result_list->getLength; for my $result_n (0..($result_count - 1)) { my $result = $result_list->item($result_n); my $zip_nodes = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Zip'); my $zip = $zip_nodes->item(0)->getChildNodes->item(0)->getData; print "zipcode: $zip\n"; } __DATA__ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ResultSet> <Result precision="address"> <Latitude>37.416384</Latitude> <Longitude>-122.024853</Longitude> <Address>701 FIRST AVE</Address> <City>SUNNYVALE</City> <State>CA</State> <Zip>94089-1019</Zip> <Country>US</Country> </Result> </ResultSet>
It should have some additional error handling for malformed documents, but that's easy enough to add.

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.
