Hi Monks,

Once again I am fighting with XML. I would like to get values set for 'value': where the 'field name="Name"' and 'class="FILENAME' and where 'field name="Size"'. (independent the class)

The (simplified) version of the XML file is as follows: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"?>
<files>
<xml version="12.0.0.1" />
  <file name="Image">
    <item>
      <field name="Name" value="Smile.JPG" class="FILENAME"/>
      <field name="Compression" value="0" class="INFO"/>
      <field name="Type" value="OS" class="INFO"/>
      <field name="Size" value="4120893467kB" class="RAM"/>
    </item>
    <item>
      <field name="Name" value="WALLPAPER.JPG" class="FILENAME"/>
      <field name="Compression" value="1" class="INFO"/>
      <field name="Type" value="OS" class="INFO"/>
      <field name="Size" value="2MB" class="DISK"/>
    </item>
  </file>
</files>

This is what I have so far: 

#!/usr/bin/env perl


use warnings;
use strict;

use feature qw{ say };
use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = 'XML::LibXML'->load_xml(location => 'imgfile.xml');
say 'XML Version is: ', $dom->version;
say 'Document encoding is: ', $dom->encoding;


# RETURNS ONLY WHERE name="Name" IN ONE ITEM
for my $fileline ( $dom->findnodes('/files/file[@name="Image"]/item/fi
+eld[@name="Name"]') )
{
    say 'Name : ', $fileline->getAttribute('value');

}


# RETURNS ALL VALUES IN ONE ITEM
for my $fileline ( $dom->findnodes('/files/file[@name="Image"]/item/fi
+eld') )
{
    say 'Value: ', $fileline->getAttribute('value');
}


# NOT WORKING
for my $fileline ( $dom->findnodes('/files/file[@name="Image"]/item') 
+)
{
    say 'Name : ', $fileline->getAttribute('field[@name="Name"]/value'
+);
    say 'Size : ', $fileline->getAttribute('field[@name="Size"]/value'
+);
}

Anyone can help?

The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.
