Hi ,
The xml file is generated as a webpage. The XML file is just 10 lines. The XML file will be like this : - <ABC>
-
<D someattribute="">
-
<EF baseRef="http://.............." id="some id value" />
-
</D>
-
<D someattribute="">
-
<EF baseRef="http://.............." id="some id value" />
-
</D>
-
</ABC>
All i want to extract from this xml file is list of "id" in perl..
I tried doing like this : - #!/usr/local/bin/perl
-
my $xml_file = 'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/xslspec.xml';
-
my @hosts;
-
-
open(my $XMLFILE, '<', $xml_file) ||die "Can't open file: $!";
-
-
while(my $line=<$XMLFILE>)
-
{
-
if($line =~ /<head>(.*)<\/head>/)
-
{
-
push @hosts,$l;
-
}
-
}
-
close($XMLFILE);
-
print join (",",@hosts);
The error i got are :
Name "main::l" used only once: possible typo at host1.cgi line 11.
Can't open file: No such file or directory at host1.cgi line 5.
Can you suggest me the easiest way to get a string from an XML file(not present in my system , but available as a webpage in our company )

To help debug you can add the following pragmas which is considered good practice. - use strict;
-
use warnings;
You can just rewrite the regex to look for the id and capture what is between the " " only. - if($line =~ /id="(.*)"/) {
There may be some speeding penalties.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Now the above code is returning the entire line that is matched.
EX: - <EF baseRef="http://.............." id="HOST1" />
-
<GH baseRef="http://.............." id="HOST2" />
-
<IJ baseRef="http://.............." id="HOST3" />
-
All I want now is HOST1,HOST2,HOS T3 seperated with single comma as a single string.
How do i get only HOST1 rather than complete line
<EF baseRef="http://.............." id="HOST1" />
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance

Sorry to trouble you again,
My Present Code is : -
#!/usr/bin/perl
-
use strict;
-
use warnings;
-
my $xml_file = 'c.xml';
-
my @hosts;
-
-
open(my $XMLFILE, '<', $xml_file) ||die "Can't open file: $!";
-
while(my $line=<$XMLFILE>)
-
{
-
if($line =~ /id="(.*)"/)
-
{
-
push @hosts,$1;
-
}
-
}
-
print "$_\n" for @hosts;
-
close($XMLFILE);
-
-
The Above code works absolutely if i give the XML file directly.
But the URL is not directly the xml file. We need to send a GET request for it.
Now i need to send a GET Request to a URL rather than directly specifying the link as C.XML
If i use something like this : -
use LWP::Simple;
-
$content = get("URL");die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;
-
-
Now this is no more a file, rather $content contains string.
How do i Apply the above code in this case.
Waiting for your reply ,
Thanks for the help so far and please help me this time too.

Hi Alex,
After getting the entire data into $content, you can split it line by line and store it in an array and use the same code for this array.. - my @contents = split(/\n/,$content);
-
foreach my $line (@contents)
-
{
-
if($line =~ /id="(.*)"/)
-
{
-
push @hosts,$1;
-
}
-
}
...
Hope this helps..

I did so, but I am able to get everything from the first match of the regular expression ie., everything from the first id name.
The problem is when i am changing the xml into a string, everything is in a single string(i dont think that it is returning as a sequence of lines , rather it is single string i used split but then i am not sure where did it go wrong). and $1 is returning the first match, thus i am able to get the first id , and everything from there.

Check the LWP::Simple documentation, you can probably write the data to a file then open the file like you were doing. Not sure if it will work but you can try.

Application.StartupPath gives you the location of the exe file. This is
where the database is assumed to be located if you don't say otherwise.
If your database is in a folder named Database that is a subfolder of the
folder where your exe file is located then you should be able to do this:
Data Source=Database\Database.mdb
