Hi Monks,

I am trying to make an ldif file to update the entries in the directory using this perl script below. This script is not able to get if the xml code goes in to the second line. For example, i am trying to get the complete value for this attribute: 


my_attr1:<order>1</order>
<code>PxED1</code>

Since code tag goes into second line.My script can't read and search into next line & print. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

while (defined($file = readdir BIN))  {
if (($file=~m/test.txt/)){
                    open FILE,$file;
                                    my @lines=<FILE>;
                                           for $line (@lines){
                    if ($line=~/cn=/) {
                               print "\n";
                               print "$line";
                               print "changetype: modify"."\n";
                               print "delete: my_attr1"."\n";
                            }
                    elsif (($line=~/^my_attr1/)&& ($line=~/<order>1<\/
+order>/)){
                                   print "$line";
                                    }
}
}
}
close(FILE);
closedir(BIN);
