Re: XML data reading/output

In other words, you want to dump the elements that match XPath

//descriptors[@type="CTC"]/descriptor/mainterm
[download]

Using XML::LibXML, the syntax is something like

for my $mainterm (
    $doc->findnodes( '//descriptors[@type="CTC"]/descriptor/mainterm' 
+)
) {
    print $mainterm->toString();
}
[download]

XML::Twig would also be awesome here.

Update: Changed
//descriptors[type="CTC"]/mainterm
to
//descriptors[@type="CTC"]/descriptor/mainterm
as per reply.

I got better results with `$doc->findnodes( '//descriptors[@type="CTC"]/descriptor/mainterm/text( +)'` [download] The three changes I added are: an @ for the type attribute the /descriptor element (although the xml is not well formed) /text() since it appears they desire a text node	[reply] [d/l]

arg, yeah, dumb mistakes. But not the third one. Contrary to your claims, the OP wants the whole element ('`<mainterm weight="a">G</mainterm>`'), not just the text ('`G`').	[reply] [d/l] [select]
