Hi,

I am a bit confused with multi line matching, how can I get the value of property name "Text" to match since it spans across multiple lines?

Use something like XML::Twig it knows how to do that already :)

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;

my $xml = q{<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<set name="01" id="test" catId="81679" >
   <cdsets>
      <cdset id="cdset" name="CD Compilation">
         <property name="Own"        value=""/>
         <property name="Type"        value="Record"/>
         <property name="Text"        value="Sample text

more sample text
more more same text]."/>
         <property name="Unique"         value="yes"/>
      </cdset>
   </cdsets>
</set>
};


XML::Twig->new(
    twig_roots => {
        'cdset' => sub {
            print $_->path, ' ';
            printf "id(%s)=%s\n", $_->att('id'), $_->att('name');
        },
        'cdset/property' => sub {
            print $_->path, ' ';
            print $_->att('name'), '=', $_->att('value'),"\n";
        },
    },
)->parse( $xml );

__END__
