Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have parsed an xml file and the resulting output is as follows

RT
=> {
'List' => {
'String' => [abcd
efgh
]

RT!
=> {
'List' => {
'String' => [
pqrs
lmno
]


I am trying to get the String values under RT and here is the code i am using

Code:

my $data = XMLin("output.xml", GroupTags=>{RequestedTerminations=>'String'});
# print output
print Dumper($data);

However, it doesnt seem to work and i get the following error

Code:

Undefined subroutine &main::XMLin called at dump.pl line 15.

Appreciate your help with this

have you written this in your script:

Code:

use XML::Simple;

make sure that CPAN module XML::Simple is installed:

Code:

perl -e 'use XML::Simple;'

Yogesh,

Thanks for the response. I have defined use XML::Simple in my script.

I was able to parse the xml file successfully using that. However when i try to get values for paricular fields i am having problems. I also tried using keyattr as follows

my $data = XMLin('dump.xml', KeyAttr=>{RT =>"List"});
print $data->{RT}=>{List}->{String};

I get this error: Bareword "MapEntry" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at dump.pl line 22.
Execution of dump.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

String has more that one value. Could that be a problem?

Appreciate any help.
