XML::LibXML
Hi, I need to create xml DOM trees from scratch save them as xml files so that I can reload them & make modifications to the elements' values as well as adding new elements or attributes. Right now I'm using the XML::LibXML::Document & XML::LibXML::Element classes. And I have a bunch of questions... 1- I would to give an XPath expression as a parameter to a method and get as a result a pointer to the position in the DOM tree to either add a nee element/attribute or modify an existing one. How do I do that? 2- Is there a way to have "C++ like friend class" in perl? 3- Do XML::LibXML::Document & XML::LibXML::Element class methods understand Xpath expressions or do I absolutly have to use XML::XPath::Element? 4- Is there a class that represent a DOM tree in XML::XPath package and is there one which would be a parser like the XML::LibXML module ... Does it provide the same functionalitites XML::LibXML::Document does? Thanks for helping out. Melanie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: XML module
There's also XML::LibXML::Document XML::LibXML::Node. I currently use them and they do the job. The Document module emulates a DOM tree while you can use the Node module to work with your element nodes.

How do I update a single instance of a repeatable element in a xml document?
Hi,
If I have something like:
Father Brian
Mother Elisabeth
Sister Judy
brother Lathan
and I want to update the Sister Judy element only,
based on the fact that I want to update only the element that has the
word "Sister" in it's text content. (Let's say I want to change the name
of my Sister so what I want as a result is Sister Elisa
and I still want to keep all the other elements as they are).
I use the XML::LibXML library more specifically: XML::LibXML::Document,
XML::LibXML::Node, XML::LibXML ::Element.
How do I do that?
I tried to use the findNodes (myfamily/member) (in XML::LibXML::Node)
method to extract into an array the list of nodes that follow the xpath
expression: myfamily/member. Then I looped through my array until I
found the element with the word Sister in it's text context. Once
found, I created a new node using new('Sister Elisa')
(inXML::LibXML::Element) then I used $oldNode->replaceNode($newNode) (in
XML::LibXML::Node). It seems to change the value but my xml document is
not being updated...

reg ex question
Hi, I have something like: /usr/local/home/mel/file.txt and I'd like to strip it so that I can put the path in a variable, the file name in another one and the extention in a another one as well. How do I do that, can I do it all in a same expression. Something like, $path = /usr/local/home/mel, $filename = file and finally $ext = txt. Thanks in advance.

Re: book for perl ???
That would be "Perl In a Nutshell". I also recommend it. Jerry M. Howell II wrote: O'Riely puts out a book most of my perl friends call the cammel book.
