Hi,
Here is a sample xml file and expected output.
I need to extract the element/tag name (not value) and xpath (sample output.txt).
But the main problem is I put here one simple xml file where I can clearly see the number of elements, but in real time I have a xml file which have over 500... (18 Replies)

Test::XML::Simple(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::XML::Simple(3pm)NAME
Test::XML::Simple - easy testing for XML
SYNOPSIS
use Test::XML::Simple tests=>5;
xml_valid $xml, "Is valid XML";
xml_node $xml, "/xpath/expression", "specified xpath node is present";
xml_is, $xml, '/xpath/expr', "expected value", "specified text present";
xml_like, $xml, '/xpath/expr', qr/expected/, "regex text present";
xml_is_deeply, $xml, '/xpath/expr', $xml2, "structure and contents match";
# Not yet implemented:
# xml_like_deeply would be nice too...
DESCRIPTION
"Test::XML::Simple" is a very basic class for testing XML. It uses the XPath syntax to locate nodes within the XML. You can also check all
or part of the structure vs. an XML fragment.
TEST ROUTINES
xml_valid $xml, 'test description'
Pass an XML file or fragment to this test; it succeeds if the XML (fragment) is valid.
xml_node $xml, $xpath, 'test description'
Checks the supplied XML to see if the node described by the supplied XPath expression is present. Test fails if it is not present.
xml_is_long $xml, $xpath, $value, 'test description'
Finds the node corresponding to the supplied XPath expression and compares it to the supplied value. Succeeds if the two values match.
Uses Test::More's "is" function to do the comparison.
xml_is $xml, $xpath, $value, 'test description'
Finds the node corresponding to the supplied XPath expression and compares it to the supplied value. Succeeds if the two values match.
Uses Test::LongString's "is_string" function to do the test.
xml_like_long $xml, $xpath, $regex, 'test description'
Find the XML corresponding to the the XPath expression and check it against the supplied regular expression. Succeeds if they match. Uses
Test::More's "like" function to do the comparison.
xml_like $xml, $xpath, $regex, 'test description'
Find the XML corresponding to the the XPath expression and check it against the supplied regular expression. Succeeds if they match. Uses
Test::LongString's "like_string" function to do the test.
xml_is_deeply_long $xml, $xpath, $xml2, 'test description'
Find the piece of XML corresponding to the XPath expression, and compare its structure and contents to the second XML (fragment) supplied.
Succeeds if they match in structure and content. Uses Test::More's "is" function to do the comparison.
xml_is_deeply $xml, $xpath, $xml2, 'test description'
Find the piece of XML corresponding to the XPath expression, and compare its structure and contents to the second XML (fragment) supplied.
Succeeds if they match in structure and content. Uses Test::LongString's "is_string" function to do the test.
