in thread XML Tags Stripping & Calculating checksum on it

First of all a big thanks for putting effort on my query

my purpose of calculating checksum in above fashion is to achieve matching of checksum from my client, they do this in above fashion in java.iam trying to improve performance of my script retaining the final checksum to be same.

if i calculate incremental checksum , how can i get the final checksum which can be matched by our client?

If you use i.e. the String::CRC32 module, just use the incremental form `$crc=crc32($additionalString,$crc)` starting with `$crc=0;`. Finally, `$crc` is a 32bit unsigned integer value that can be compared. Maybe you need a conversion into a hex-notation or something beforehand (Edit: I mean before comparison, if you have to compare against some string format.): `$clear=sprintf("%X",$crc);` or `$clear=uc(unpack("H8", pack("N",$crc)));`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`my $data = do { local( $/ ) ; <$XmlFile> } ; # Slurp file $data =~ s!(^\s)?\<(TotalAmount\|NoOfRecords\|TotalBatch\|CurrentBatch\|E +ODTransactionDate\|BankFileSeqNo\|TotAmount)\>(.+?)\<\/\1\>\n?!!mig; +# Zap headers $data =~ s!(^\s)?</?.*?>\n?!!mig; # Zap xml tags CRC32($data); # CRC remaining data` [download] Should be fast, but in general regex'ing x/html is fragile and NOT recommended. (implicit assumptions about the data content is one of the traps, -- which may/not apply in your case). You probably should use XML::Twig instead!	[reply] [d/l]
