in reply to libxml - insert node
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use XML::LibXML 1.70; # Parse the document. XML::LibXML 1.70 introduced the load_xml method, # which is somewhat nicer than the pre-1.70 methods for parsing data. my $doc = XML::LibXML->load_xml(IO => \*DATA) or die; # In your original example, the building was "Building A", but there # was no node called "Building A" in the sample XML. my $bldg = 'Office'; my $floor = '1st Floor'; # I've changed your query so that it selects a <node> element. # Previously it drilled down further to select the text inside # the node's <label> element. There didn't seem to be any reason # to do that. my $query = "//node[label = '$bldg']/node[label = '$floor']"; # Here's one way to do it... if( my ($node) = $doc->findnodes($query) ) { my $new_node = $doc->createElement("node"); my $new_label = $doc->createElement("label"); $node->addChild($new_node); $new_node->addChild($new_label); $new_label->appendText('10.1.1.1'); } # This way is a little more concise... if( my ($node) = $doc->findnodes($query) ) { $node -> addNewChild(undef, 'node') -> addNewChild(undef, 'label') -> appendText('10.2.2.2'); } # This outputs the XML nicely indented.
