I recently used XML::Simple for something very similar. You just tell it to read your xml file and it'll parse it up and create a handy data structure to work with.
Use it with Data::Dumper if you want to see how it handles your xml: ################ #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use Data::Dumper; use XML::Simple; use strict; my $xml = XMLin('your_xml_file.xml'); print Dumper($xml); ################ Regards, Matt Regards, Matt --- VitolD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone! > > It's my first expirience with XML. > > I have simple XML document like this > <?xml version="1.0"?> > <site> > <section id='1'> > <page id='11' /> > </section> > <page id='00' /> > <section id='2'> > <page id='22' /> > <section id='3'> > <page id='33' /> > </section> > </section> > <page id='44' /> > </site> > > And I need to produce something like this > > ======================================== > ...... something like header here ...... > ........ root is 'site' ................ > > 'section', id=1 (parent = 'site') > 'page', id=11 (parent = 'section', id=1) > 'page', id=00 (parent = 'site') > 'section', id=2 (parent = 'site') > 'page', id=22 (parent = 'section', id=2) > 'section', id=3 (parent = 'section', id=2) > 'page', id=33 (parent = 'section', id=3) > > ...... something like footer here ...... > ........................................ > ======================================== > > How can I do it with siplest way? > > > I've been trying to make this with XML::Parser::Expat, > my $parser = new XML::Parser::Expat; > $parser->setHandlers(Start => \&start); > $parser->parsefile($file); > > sub start { > my ($p, $el, %atts) = @_; > print "'$el', id=$atts{id} (parent = $current_element, id=????"; > } > > But in this case I can't know attributes of parent node...
