Hey Monks,

I wrote a this morning trying to read b/w xml tags. However, i am having a little problem. The specified tags I want to read is been picked up but the content of the tag is not been read. Can any monk kindly help me solve this problem? 

if (open(DBASE, $path."database.txt"))
                {
                    while(<DBASE>)
                    {
                        chomp;
                        if ($_ =~ /\.xml/)
                        {
                            if (open(XFILE, $_))
                            {
                                while (<XFILE>)
                                {
                                    chomp;
                                    if ($_ =~ /\<name\>|\<\/name\>/)
                                    {
                                        print (LIST "$_\n");
                                    }
                                }
                            }                            
                        }
                    }
                    
                }
