Re: textContent() method in XML::LibXML ...

[ramrod]

According to the libXML documentation this is what I would expect.

Try nodeValue.
Or maybe use a different Xpath along with the XML::LibXML::Text module.

As with some of your more recent posts, we could help you out more with a sample of the xml, and the xpath you are trying.

nodeValue() worked! Thanks a lot!! That was VERY helpful! nodeValue() just picks the value of the current node. textCOntent() collates the values of the node and all its children and it's children's children and so on until the leaf is reached!!!

Thanks again!
