Hi.

So I have an XML file that I am parsing using XML::LibXML and it's working very nicely.

The provider of the data is only returning 250 records initially. In the heading of the XML data is a section that tells how many records are in total, pages available, etc... See code below.

It doesn't look like XML to me. Anyone know if if I can get XML::LibXML to get this data out for me. Particularly what I need is "total_pages", "total_records" and "download_key".

If not, I guess a RegEx would be the way to go. Working on that now, but if anyone has an elegant suggestion, I'm listening. 


 <result_summary total_records="594" total_pages="3" current_page="1" 
+records_this_page="250" download_key="xmxnxnxnxnxnxnxnxnx" time_start
+="2020-02-19 15:50:55" feed_version="1.44" />

Thanks, Mike
