Re^4: XML Simple not keeping same structure on xmlout()

Yes on that string it works... Might I add a more specific case where it occurs. Ran the following xml with your code...

XML

<BILLING> 
    <ADDTELE1></ADDTELE1>
    <ADDTELE2></ADDTELE2>
    <ADDEMAIL></ADDEMAIL>
    <ADDACCOUNTDETAILS>
     <ADDACCOUNT>
      <ACCOUNT></ACCOUNT> 
      <RTN></RTN>
     </ADDACCOUNT>
    </ADDACCOUNTDETAILS>
</BILLING>

$VAR1 = {
          'BILLING' => {
                       'ADDEMAIL' => {},
                       'ADDTELE2' => {},
                       'ADDACCOUNTDETAILS' => {
                                              'ADDACCOUNT' => {
                                                              'RTN' =>

                       'ADDTELE1' => {}

`ForceArray => 1` will help in that situation, but will produce a much more elaborate structure. But really, XML::Simple is not designed to be idempotent.	[reply] [d/l]
