Re^2: How do I delete a specific element from an XML file

A side note: delete an array element does not shift index. Try the following example:

use Data::Dumper;

use strict;
use warnings;

my @a = (1,2,3,4,5);
print Dumper(\@a);
delete $a[1];
#splice(@a, 1,1);
print Dumper(\@a);

It gives you:

$VAR1 = [
          1,
          2,
          3,
          4,
          5
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          1,
          undef,
          3,
          4,
          5
        ];

The array after deletion does not become something like

$VAR1 = [
          1,
          3,
          4,
          5
        ];
[download]

as splice does.

Sorry about the spelling mistake I made for `$counterchan`. I understand in general what you said with the example but how do I implemented?	[reply] [d/l]

I found the problem, it come from with the exit command. WIth this it works well `delete $category->{'subcategory'}[$countersubs]{'product'}[$counterpro +d]{'channel'}[$counterchan]` [download] only when all loops is finished their process.	[reply] [d/l]

Probem solve! Just need to put the command "exit 1" outside of the loop with a condition and everything works welll. Example:`exit 1 if isDel;`	[reply] [d/l]
