Re: XPATH Looping

Welcome to the monastery.

I doubt that the code you posted is part of whatever script "works fine". You have two instances of:

find('...
[download]

which should probably be

find('...')
[download]

Please post a minimal example of code that reproduces your problem. These guidelines will help you in deciding how best to do this: How do I post a question effectively?

I have updated the code and XML example. <<This may be double posted>> Still learning my way around the website. I really appreciate the help. I was not expecting forum members to actually run the code and troubleshoot. More looking for direction. I'll take the troubleshooting though. Kindest regards,	[reply]

GOT IT!!!! I figured it out. I'll post the code as it is now and working. Going through the process of explaining the issue really helped. Kindest regards, and thanks to kcott!	[reply]

Don't got it. I'll put up the code and explain what is happening again, in the same thread.	[reply]

Thank you for responding! I did not read before posting. I am copying the script for your review. I can also remove all PHI from the XML and copy it as well. Regards,	[reply]

choroba++ has provided the solution below. Here's a couple of links you may find useful: XML Path Language (XPath) This shows the syntax from the W3C Recommendation. Note the difference between `//path` and `.//path`. XML::XPath - MANIFEST This has numerous examples of usage. In the past, I've found the code in the `t/` directory particularly useful. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I will be reviewing the links today. Also super exited about mastering XML parsing. My intent is to save this information into a database, and then creating an interface for the reports. Thank you for your help!	[reply]
