Re^2: xml::xslt xpath bug?

Which Perl Module would you recommend I use to get this done? I tried each of the suggested forms and each returned an unexpected element.


            <xsl:for-each select='/PLMXML/Form[@id=&apos;id24&apos;]'>
                <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
            </xsl:for-each>

returns: id36

            <xsl:for-each select="/PLMXML/Form[@id=&quot;id24&quot;]">
                <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
            </xsl:for-each>

returns: id36

            <xsl:for-each select='/PLMXML/Form[@id="id24"]'>
                <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
            </xsl:for-each>
returns: id36

            <xsl:for-each select="/PLMXML/Form[@id='id24']">
                <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
            </xsl:for-each>
returns: id36

Sorry, I can't make a recommendation. I've never used XSLT.	[reply]

Okay, a more general question. What Perl Module(s) would you use to get bits of information out of an xml file and put them into an Excel file? I tried XML::Parser but found it dropped lots of data when it read xml into an array (and I had the same problem when I tried read xml into a hash).	[reply]

I use XML::LibXML to do my XML parsing (fastest I've found, very complete, very reliable, clean interface), and I use XPaths (via `findnodes`) to extract data from the resulting tree. Example: `my @forms = $xpc->findnodes('/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form'); for my $form (@forms) { print( $form->getAttribute('subClass'), "\n" ); ... }` [download] Example: `my ($form) = $xpc->findnodes( '/plm:PLMXML/plm:Form[subClass="Part Revision Master"]' ) or die("Can't find Part Revision Master form\n"); print($form->getAttribute('id'), "\n"); # id24` [download] Update: Added examples.
