Hey Gurus: I'm try to pull data from an XML file that has multiple levels. There are multiple batches that have an index hash assigned to them. Within those batches there are items that have there own index hashes assigned to them (e.g. [0] in the loop). I've attached a few screen shots in that it will be easier to see the data structure.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use File::Glob; use XML::Simple; use Data::Dumper; my @files = glob("//Server/Share/*.xml"); my $xml = XML::Simple->new(KeyAttr=>[]); #, ForceArray=>1); foreach my $x (@files) { my $data = $xml->XMLin($x); foreach my $key (@{$data->{Jobs}->{Job}->{Blocks}->{Block}->{Batch +es}->{Batch}->[0]->{Items}->{Item}}) { print $key->{CorporateName} . "\n"; print $key->{Amount} . "\n"; } }
