FTR, trying to look into that direction myself, The dark voodoo regexp as described here works for many cases. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=261292 $ echo '<root><this><is>a</is><test /><message><org><cn>Some org-or-other</cn><ph>Wouldnt you like to know</ph></org><contact><fn>Pat</fn><ln>Califia</ln></contact></message></this></root>' | perl -pe 's/(?<=>)\s+(?=<)//g; s(<(/?)([^/>]+)(/?)>\s*(?=(</?))?)($indent+=$3?0:$1?-1:1;"<$1$2$3>".($1&&($4 eq"</")?"\n".(" "x$indent):$4?"\n".(" "x$indent):""))ge' <root> <this> <is>a</is> <test /> <message> <org> <cn>Some org-or-other</cn> <ph>Wouldnt you like to know</ph> </org> <contact> <fn>Pat</fn> <ln>Califia</ln> </contact> </message> </this> </root> $ echo '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://example.com/ns";><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><ns:request><ns:customer><ns:id>123</ns:id><ns:name type="NCHZ">John Brown</ns:name></ns:customer></ns:request></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>' | perl -pe 's/(?<=>)\s+(?=<)//g; s(<(/?)([^/>]+)(/?)>\s*(?=(</?))?)($indent+=$3?0:$1?-1:1;"<$1$2$3>".($1&&($4 eq"</")?"\n".(" "x$indent):$4?"\n".(" "x$indent):""))ge' <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:ns="http://example.com/ns";><soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <ns:request> <ns:customer> <ns:id>123</ns:id> <ns:name type="NCHZ">John Brown</ns:name> </ns:customer> </ns:request> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> But I did found its own limits when trying more samples... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
