Hi all, I have used the below code to make modifications in xml file. but the modified sheet has unnecessary new lines(many lines) or white spaces. How do i remove the extra white lines that are in the xml file.
my $a_type = "alpha"; my $type=$a_type; if($type eq "alpha"){ $file='beta.xml'; } my $twig= XML::Twig->new( pretty_print => 'indented', twig_roots => { name => sub{ my ($p, $name) = @_; $name->set_text( "sai" ); $name->print; $name->purge; return; }, } twig_print_outside_roots => 1, ); $twig->parsefile_inplace( $file, 'bak.*' ); $twig->flush;
my input is
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <project> <actions/> <name>Ram</name> <daysToKeep>10</daysToKeep>
and the output i got is
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <project> <actions/> <name>Sai</name> <daysToKeep>10</daysToKeep>
you can see the extra lines that i donot want.. in the output. The desired output is
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <project> <actions/> <name>Sai</name> <daysToKeep>10</daysToKeep>
