I think I got the problem. In your original XML file, the tags are all in one single line. This is the reason why the code is not working.
I didn't copy your original XML, but instead I actually opened the XML in IE which shows tags in proper hierarchy, copied it and worked on this code.
You can modify the existing code by adding a for loop to read, perform the necessary checks and finally edit the values.

Hi
I want to take an XML file and transform it into a pipe-delimited format. What is the best tool to use for this? I have libxml2 which seems to be the best xml parser around.
The xml file will have the following format.

mkdoc::xml::stripper
MKDoc::XML::Stripper(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation MKDoc::XML::Stripper(3pm)
NAME
MKDoc::XML::Stripper - Remove unwanted XML / XHTML tags and attributes
SYNOPSIS
use MKDoc::XML::Stripper;
my $stripper = new MKDoc::XML::Stripper;
$stripper->allow (qw /p class id/);
my $ugly = '<p class="para" style="color:red">Hello, <strong>World</strong>!</p>';
my $neat = $stripper->process_data ($ugly);
print $neat;
Should print:
<p class="para">Hello, World!</p>
SUMMARY
MKDoc::XML::Stripper is a class which lets you specify a set of tags and attributes which you want to allow, and then cheekily strip any
XML of unwanted tags and attributes.
In MKDoc, this is used so that editors use structural XHTML rather than presentational tags, i.e. strip anything which looks like a <font>
tag, a 'style' attribute or other tags which would break separation of structure from content.
DISCLAIMER
This module does low level XML manipulation. It will somehow parse even broken XML and try to do something with it. Do not use it unless
you know what you're doing.
API
my $stripper = MKDoc::XML::Stripper->new()
Instantiates a new MKDoc::XML::Stripper object.
$stripper->load_def ($def_name);
Loads a definition located somewhere in @INC under MKDoc/XML/Stripper.
Available definitions are:
xhtml10frameset
xhtml10strict
xhtml10transitional
mkdoc16 - MKDoc 1.6. XHTML structural markup
You can also load your own definition file, for instance:
$stripper->load_def ('my_def.txt');
Definitions are simple text files as follows:
# allow p with 'class' and id
p class
p id
# allow more stuff
td class
td id
td style
# etc...
$stripper->allow ($tag, @attributes)
Allows "<$tag>" to appear in the stripped XML. Additionally, allows @attributes to appear as attributes of <$tag>, so for instance:
$stripper->allow ('p', 'class', 'id');
Will allow the following:
<p>
<p class="foo">
<p id="bar">
<p class="foo" id="bar">
However any extra attributes will be stripped, i.e.
<p class="foo" id="bar" style="font-color: red">
Will be rewritten as
<p class="foo" id="bar">
$stripper->disallow ($tag)
Explicitly disallows a tag and all its associated attributes. By default everything is disallowed.
$stripper->process_data ($some_xml);
Strips $some_xml according to the rules that were given with the allow() and disallow() methods and returns the result. Does not modify
$some_xml in place.
$stripper->process_file ('/an/xml/file.xml');
Strips '/an/xml/file.xml' according to the rules that were given with the allow() and disallow() methods and returns the result. Does not
modify '/an/xml/file.xml' in place.
NOTES
MKDoc::XML::Stripper does not really parse the XML file you're giving to it nor does it care if the XML is well-formed or not. It uses
MKDoc::XML::Tokenizer to turn the XML / XHTML file into a series of MKDoc::XML::Token objects and strictly operates on a list of tokens.
For this same reason MKDoc::XML::Stripper does not support namespaces.
