Hi,
I would like to read XML files which look like this: <?xml version='1.0' ?> <data id="build_Inventur_1469705446"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <instanceID>uuid:ee1bd852-37ee-4965-a097-50130cf6dac7</instanceID> </meta> <Stationsnummer>Infostand</Stationsnummer> <Mitarbeiter_inv>5449000134264</Mitarbeiter_inv> <Bezeichnung1/> <Regaletikett_ausgeben>groß</Regaletikett_ausgeben> <Erfassung> <Artikel_erfassen/> <Lagerstaette>5449000134264</Lagerstaette> <Artikelstapel> <EAN_Artikel>5449000134264</EAN_Artikel> <Preis>10.0</Preis> <Menge>20</Menge> <Etikettentyp/> </Artikelstapel> </Erfassung> </data> There is an Umlaut, ß, supposed to be at <Regaletikett_ausgeben>groß</Regaletikett_ausgeben> which is apparently impossible to read. The following program ... #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say'; use XML::Simple; use Data::Dumper; my $xml = new XML::Simple; my $data = $xml->XMLin("test.xml"); open my $fh, ">", 'pout'; print $fh Dumper($data); close $fh; print Dumper($data); exit 0; ... gives me this output: $VAR1 = { 'Bezeichnung1' => {}, 'id' => 'build_Inventur_1469705446', 'Stationsnummer' => 'Infostand', 'meta' => { 'content' => 'text/html; charset=UTF-8', 'http-equiv' => 'content-type', 'instanceID' => 'uuid:ee1bd852-37ee-4965-a097-50130cf6dac7' }, 'Mitarbeiter_inv' => '5449000134264', 'Regaletikett_ausgeben' => "gro\x{df}", 'Erfassung' => { 'Artikelstapel' => { 'Menge' => '20', 'Preis' => '10.0', 'EAN_Artikel' => '5449000134264', 'Etikettentyp' => {} }, 'Artikel_erfassen' => {}, 'Lagerstaette' => '5449000134264' } }; I´m not getting any better results when adding an encoding tag to the XML file and when writing the Dumper output to a file. Is it impossible to use Umlaute in XML Files? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
