in thread Extracting information from XML file

Hi Thanks a lot for your help. The method you suggested worked fine, but I am still confused as to how to go one level deeper into it. Like how to extract the values of source path and destination path. I only get hash values and not the real values. Please help.

    OK I'm a bit busy.

    This works but it's ugly and doesn't run under strict for some reason I'll figure out later.

    #!/usr/bin/perl use XML::Simple; my $data = XMLin("/path/to/report.xml"); for ( @{ $data->{'report'} } ) { print "Report name: $_->{'report-name'}\n"; foreach my $key ( keys( %{ $_->{'source-file'} } ) ) { print "source file path: " . $_->{'source-file'}->{"$key"} ->{'source-file-path'} . "\n"; } foreach my $key ( keys( %{ $_->{'destination-file'} } ) ) { print "destination file path: " . $_->{'destination-file'}->{"$key"} ->{'destination-file-path'} . "\n"; } }

    The thing I'd do, if it were me, is mess about a bit with the options of XML::Simple, so that the data structure was a bit easier to access.
