I agree with Akshay that your requirements are not clear.

It looks like you're saying that you have a file that contains blocks text where the first line in a block is:
Code:
- - - - -

and the last two lines in a block are:
Code:
 - - - - - 
 - - - -

For output you seem to want a list of comma separated lines using the data from the x XML tag in that block and lines where the 3rd field is "as" for each input block and you want the output blocks separated by the input block terminator with the leading spaces removed.

These are both pretty strange formats for an XML input file and for a CSV output file.

Please give us a clear description of your input file format and your output file format. (And use CODE tags so we can tell where leading and trailing spaces are present and where multiple adjacent spaces or tabs appear in your input and output.)

If you show us code that you have written to try to solve your problem it will help us understand what you're trying to do.

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3)

NAME
XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter - output XML in canonical XML format SYNOPSIS
use XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter; $writer = XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter OPTIONS; $parser->parse(Handler => $writer); DESCRIPTION
"XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" is a PerlSAX handler that will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML instance and it's content. "XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects. Options can be supplied when the the object is created, $writer = new XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter PrintComments => 1; or modified at any time before calling the parser's `"parse()"' method: $writer->{PrintComments} = 0; OPTIONS
IOHandle IOHandle contains a handle for writing the canonical XML to. If an IOHandle is not provided, the canonical XML string will be returned from `"parse()"'. PrintComments By default comments are not written to the output. Setting comment to a true value will include comments in the output. AUTHOR
