Re^4: Perl XML::Smart Out of memory! error

Hi many thanks for the code. i ran it on the full file and it showed up an error while processing. Can't call method "att" on an undefined value at import_icecat.pl line 107. line 107 is

 
$f[3] = $elt->first_child('Description[@langid="1"]')->att('Value');

looking at the xml i find that there is block with missing attributes.It has the opening and closing Category tag but not discription.How do i get it to ignore where tags are missing and keep processing

 
  <Category ID="1" LowPic="" Score="0" Searchable="0" ThumbPic="" UNCA
+TID="" Visible="0">
        <Name ID="0" Value="" langid="1"/>
       <ParentCategory ID="1"/>
      </Category>

Try `sub Category{ my ($t, $elt) = @_; my @f = ( $elt->att('ID') ,'','','','','' ); $f[4] = $elt->att('LowPic'); $f[5] = $elt->att('ThumbPic'); $f[1] = $elt->first_child('ParentCategory')->att('ID'); for my $e ($elt->children('@langid="1"')){ $f[2] = $e->att('Value') if $e->name eq 'Name'; $f[3] = $e->att('Value') if $e->name eq 'Description'; } print "@f\n"; $sth->execute(@f); }` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]

block eval, like `$f[3] = eval { $elt->first_child('Description[@langid="1"]')->att('Value'); };` so if there is no first_child ... and no att value ... the program keeps going	[reply] [d/l]
