I am using XML:twig to extract some attributes from an XML file using Perl;
Here is my code:
use XML::Twig;
my $file = $ARGV[0];
$file =~ /(.+)\.xml/;
my $outfile = $1.".snp" ;
open my $out,'>',$outfile or die "Could not open file '$outfile' $!";
my $twig = XML::Twig->new
(
twig_handlers =>
{
'Rs/MergeHistory' => \&MergeHistory,
}
);
$twig -> parsefile( "$file");
sub MergeHistory
{
my ($twig, $elt) = @_;
print $out "\t";
print $out "rs";
print $out $elt->att('rsId'), ",";
print $out "b";
print $out $elt->att('buildId'), ",";
}
This print the following results:
rs56546490,b130, rs386588736,b142
rs56546490,b130, rs386588736,b142
What I want is to print each MergeHistory rsId and buildId together as the following:
rs56546490,rs386588736, b130,b142
rs56546490,rs386588736, b130,b142
Here is a part of the XML file which contains on two MergeHistory tags :
<Rs>
<MergeHistory rsId="56546490" buildId="130">
<MergeHistory rsId="386588736" buildId="142">
</Rs>
<Rs>
<MergeHistory rsId="56546490" buildId="130">
<MergeHistory rsId="386588736" buildId="142">
</Rs>
