Dear Monks,

Thank you so much for your help

The code worked fine, but curiosity got the better of me and I tried to find a way how specify both infile and outfile on the command line.

This was the point when I realised that I have not yet proper understood how functions and parameters work, especially how to pass arguments to a function. I guess it is back to books for me.

While reading the code, I was thinking that parsefile was the crucial element and this is where my infile should go through. However I could not establish the connection between parsefile and the  $ofh open in the first lines.

However when I tried the new code I always got the following message:

.pm line 773.
Couldn't open :
No such file or directory at replace_tmx_ori.pl line 19.
 at replace_tmx_ori.pl line 19.

I figure the programm does not know which file is passed for input

Is there a possibility to specify the in and outfile in the code? Please find my endeavours below

Comments and explanations are appreciated.

my $infile = $ARGV[0];

my $outfile = $ARRGV[2];

open my $ofh, '>:utf8', $outfile or die $!;
XML::Twig->new(
    keep_spaces => 1,
    twig_print_outside_roots => $ofh,
    twig_roots => {
        tu => sub {
            my ($twig, $elt) = @_;
            $elt->set_att('creationid',"Simon Simonsen");
            $elt->print($ofh);
        }
    },
)->parsefile( $infile );
close $ofh;
