in reply to Re^2: Compare 2 XML files
in thread Compare 2 XML files

The first thing would be to actually extract your $ssrids from the XML and print them.

Then, extract the system IDs from the other XML and print those.

After you have convinced yourself that you can extract the correct values, apply the hint of how to find matching elements between two lists.

Maybe you need to take a step back and consider whether/how you can actually extract the data you need.

    HOW TO GET ONLY ID PRESENT IN BOTH THE LIST AND NOT ALL THE RECORDS.

      Now is the moment when you refer to perlfaq4 to get the "intersection of two arrays", as I already told you.

      Maybe we are talking past each other here. This is not a code writing service. You are expected to write the code yourself. I will help you by pointing you to the resources you need to write your code for your work, but you will have to do the work yourself.

        I have gone through the perlfaq4 ,but I am really struggling to get the correct logic to compare two array reference and only display matching records... Its also says use of Hash, so do i need to change Hash ...as im already having array of hash.. please correct me ..

my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => $xml);
my $nodeset = $xp->findnodes('//application_list');
