Re^2: Sorting RSS items out of XML::RSS

Thanks Fletch!

I have tried to create my own structure, along the following lines:

    foreach my $item (@{$rss->{'items'}}) {
        my $title=$item->{'title'};
        my $link=$item->{'link'};
        my $description=$item->{'description'};
        my $date_valid=$item->{nzgls}->{'date.valid'};
        my $doc_type=$item->{nzgls}->{'type.document'};
        my $identifier=$item->{nzgls}->{'identifier'};

        @holdarray="$title", "$link", "$date_valid",
               "$doc_type",  "$identifier", "$description";
}
[download]

So far, so good. But when I get down to building a parent array to store the items in for sorting...

        push @megarray, @holdarray;

        print "$megarray[0][1]\n";
[download]

I get: "Can't use string ("") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at ./rss-experiment.pl line 114."

I'm thinking the line when I push @holdarray into @megarray probably isn't doing what I'm thinking it is :)

Thanks,

Stuart

You need to use array references rather than arrays, so replace your: `push @megarray, @holdarray;` [download] by `push @megarray, \@holdarray;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
