Re: Replace the Text of an XML Element Using LibXML and DOM

[lestrrat]

How about:

   foreach my $node ( $dom->findnodes( '/Message/Body' ) ) {
      my $decoded = decode_base64($node->textContent());
      $node->removeChild( $node->firstChild() );
      $node->appendTextNode( $decoded );
   }

Thanks so much for the reply,

Hopefully this can help someone else. I ended up implementing as follows:

my $root = $dom->getDocumentElement;
my $bodies = $root->getElementsByTagName( "MessageBody" );
foreach my $body ( $bodies->get_nodelist() ) {
    my $encoded_node = $body->firstChild();
    $encoded_node->replaceDataString( $encoded_node->data(), decode_ba
+se64( $encoded_node->data() ));
}

Again thanks. You got me going on the right path.

Take care,
Jay

I learned something new, too :) ( didn't know about replaceDataString() )
