( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
For the the first in almost a year of being here I am posting a question.. that says alot about much info is already here.. but anyway
I have a "XML like" file in this format:
<post> <jobnumber>1234</jobnumber> <location> somecity NJ <location> </post> <post> <jobnumber>87922</jobnumber> <location> Othercity, AK <location> </post>
And so on
What I would like to be able to do is read in the first "post" and assign the content to a hash with the elements as keys so that i can access the data like

print "City: $hash{location} \n";

Then go on to the next "post" and repeat the proccessing of the data inside it. I have looked at the man pages for XML::Parser and XML::Simple but I can't figure out how to go through one post at a time. I figure there is something simple about all this that I am just missing and would appreciate if some helpful monk could point my brain in the right direction.
Thanks

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.
