Re: Re: XML::Parser and multiple results

I was giving example elements and not real elements. The XML is correctly formed other than the fact that there are multiple results in the same file. Each Output on its own is a valid file. I don't really want to pollute my filesystem with 46k -> 100k individual files that are clunky to move around, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to parse one file instead of splitting each output into its own file. From what I can see from the responses, the only way would be to have perl split the big file into a hash or array and feed that into XML::Parser as individual "files"... Does this seem to be correct?

If that's the case then maybe all you need to do is wrap your file in one root node to make it valid XML. See Re: Parsing with SAX an XML Document with no Root Node for an example.	[reply]

So I tried this solution, unfortunately each of the outputs contains an <?xml definition that screws up the parser because it should be at the beginning of a single file and not in the middle of a file. So I guess I'll split out each file that should be separate and do it that way. Thanks for the help. Ineff	[reply]

Does this XML need to validate against a schema? If not, could you prepend an opening tag and append a closing tag, wrapping multiple nodes in one parent node?	[reply]

Does this seem to be correct? No, it is perfectly valid to have any number of tags there. If your output is valid. But `XML::Parser` stops, so I doubt it is valid. Boris	[reply] [d/l]
