Hi, I am stuck at a puppet provider where I need to read data from xml.
Data which needs to get parsed: <AR> <AR_ID><![CDATA[8]]></AR_ID> <IP><![CDATA[172.16.100.208]]></IP> <MAC><![CDATA[02:00:ac:10:64:d0]]></MAC> <SIZE><![CDATA[1]]></SIZE> <TYPE><![CDATA[IP4]]></TYPE> <USED_LEASES>0</USED_LEASES> <LEASES/> </AR> <AR> <AR_ID><![CDATA[9]]></AR_ID> <IP><![CDATA[172.16.100.209]]></IP> <MAC><![CDATA[02:00:ac:10:64:d1]]></MAC> <SIZE><![CDATA[1]]></SIZE> <TYPE><![CDATA[IP4]]></TYPE> <USED_LEASES>0</USED_LEASES> <LEASES/> </AR> Expected result: :addressrange => { ‘1' => { ‘ip' => ‘172.16.100.208’, ‘mac' => ’02:00:ac:10:64:d0’ }, ‘2' => { ‘ip' => ‘172.16.100.209’, ‘mac' => ’02:00:ac:10:64:d1’ } } Actual code (Note: I was never good at coding an will never be): vnets.collect do |vnet| new( :addressrange => Hash[vnet.xpath('./AR_POOL/AR/AR_ID').collect { |ar| [ar.text, ar.xpath('..').collect { |singlear| singlear.xpath('./*').collect { |arvalue| {arvalue.name, arvalue.text} } } ] } ] ) end But this code return: :addressrange=> {"9"=> [[{"AR_ID"=>"9"}, {"IP"=>"172.16.100.209"}, {"MAC"=>"02:00:ac:10:64:d1"}, {"SIZE"=>"1"}, {"TYPE"=>"IP4"}]], "8"=> [[{"AR_ID"=>"8"}, {"IP"=>"172.16.100.208"}, {"MAC"=>"02:00:ac:10:64:d0"}, {"SIZE"=>"1"}, {"TYPE"=>"IP4"}]], What would be proper code to build the hash as expected?
