Thanks so much.
Have never worked with Perl before and downloaded tutorial to help me understand the syntax. Would you suggest a good book on it?
This code was awesome. The input file does consist of lots more information and the task tag has about 2 dozen attributes. (This is an embedded software file created by another integrator and has about 1000 tasks in it with multiple tags underneath). I do software code checking as code changes, this whole file was being recreated. Now all that has to be done is change the task xml file and re-imbed it. Magic..
The xml code is on an intranet machine and cannot be copied from, so the file and problem was abbreviated for convenience.
The only problem was
(m/id="(.*)"/)
actually captured the whole line including other attributes.
Each task is defined by the same version number appended to the end. I got the correct name by adding
(m/id="(.*)VERS5"/).
The last part was not captured, but it did end there. I tried the
(m/s/id="(.*)VERS5"/)
but it did not work. I got what I wanted by doing the perl then
ls *.xml > temp1
sed -e "s|.xml||g" temp1 > temp2
cat temp2 |xargs -n 1| while read TASKNAME
do
mv $TASKNAME.xml $TASKNAME'Vers5.xml'
done
This is the first time I have worked with Sun workstations and don't have this scripting thing down but with the help of this website, I have been able to do lots of neat things which have saved time.
Thanks all, this site is fantastic.
PS I am thinking about getting a MAC now that I am starting to understand UNIX. Any suggestions on what I should get?
Thanks again,
MissI

xml::sax::pureperl5.18
SAX::PurePerl(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation SAX::PurePerl(3)
NAME
XML::SAX::PurePerl - Pure Perl XML Parser with SAX2 interface
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Handler::Foo;
use XML::SAX::PurePerl;
my $handler = XML::Handler::Foo->new();
my $parser = XML::SAX::PurePerl->new(Handler => $handler);
$parser->parse_uri("myfile.xml");
DESCRIPTION
This module implements an XML parser in pure perl. It is written around the upcoming perl 5.8's unicode support and support for multiple
document encodings (using the PerlIO layer), however it has been ported to work with ASCII/UTF8 documents under lower perl versions.
The SAX2 API is described in detail at http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-xml/, in the CVS archive, under libxml-perl/docs. Hopefully
those documents will be in a better location soon.
Please refer to the SAX2 documentation for how to use this module - it is merely a front end to SAX2, and implements nothing that is not in
that spec (or at least tries not to - please email me if you find errors in this implementation).
BUGS
XML::SAX::PurePerl is slow. Very slow. I suggest you use something else in fact. However it is great as a fallback parser for XML::SAX,
where the user might not be able to install an XS based parser or C library.
Currently lots, probably. At the moment the weakest area is parsing DOCTYPE declarations, though the code is in place to start doing this.
Also parsing parameter entity references is causing me much confusion, since it's not exactly what I would call trivial, or well documented
in the XML grammar. XML documents with internal subsets are likely to fail.
I am however trying to work towards full conformance using the Oasis test suite.
