Re^2: Pasing an XML file to generate a certain output.

eh, i was trying the same solution but with the code below (your's) and with my attempt too i get not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 29, byte 29 at.. tht seems to be the comment.
If i entirely remove the comment it runs fine. i'm playng with comments => "process" as the authors said, but with no luck.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Twig;

# at most one div will be loaded in memory
  my $twig=XML::Twig->new(
    twig_handlers =>
    { channel => sub {
        my( $node )= @_;
        my( $id )= $node->{'att'}->{id};
        my( $chan )= $node->{'att'}->{chan};
        my( $sign )= $node->text;
        print qq(UPDATE channel SET channum="$chan",xmltvid="$id" WHER
+E callsign="$sign");

        $node->purge;
      },
    },
  );
  $twig->parse(<DATA>);

Ah ok thanks, it appeared to me as a very bad thing having a comment inside a tag, but i was not aware it was not valid XML. L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

Hmmm, What if I remove all the rubbish I dont need from the file, how would I parse it then. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11112412/	[reply]
