Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have an xml file like this: I am using xml::dom also and libxml.

Code:

<Nodes>
      <Node>
            <NodeName>MainContent</NodeName>
            <data>1.csv</data>
             <Node>
                  <NodeName>Status</NodeName>
                  <IsWrapper/>
                  <Node>
                        <NodeName>dummy</NodeName>
                        <data>STATUS.csv</data>
                  </Node>
            </Node>
</Node>			
</Nodes>

The file contains the main node called Nodes under that all the things to placed. The node name dummy indicates that dummy node name
should not be written to xml file. IsWrapper is creating a new node.

How to check if the node is opened or not in the following example.

Here MainContent node is opened under that Status is an another node. The status node to closed first and then the main content.

In other words how to close the tags i.e opened.?

How to ensure that there is proper closing and opening tags according to the xml file?

The source file will be like this xml file only?

How can i handle this?

Help is very much required.

Well, usually we use the PERL sax parser modules not home brew! They call you as tags are opened and closed, so you can deal with attributes and content.

Make an array string variable I_AM_IN and a depth integer variable xml_depth to index it, and keep track of where you are. Use them in debug or error log messages, presented as: /$I_AM_IN[0]/$I_AM_IN[1] . . .

Hi,
