| Hey!
How can i parse this xmlfile?
As you can see, there are two <DbName>...</DbName> in both
<ResultItemOne> and <ResultItemTwo>. The first two <DbName> values and
last two <DbName> values must be treated different and be given two
different array. You guys have mentioned to use the method such as
print $ref->{'ResultItem'}[0]{'DbName'}. How can I use it in this kind
of scenario?
<ResultItemOne>
<DbName>geo</DbName>
<DbName>ceo</DbName>
<MenuName>GEO Profiles</MenuName>
<Count>69408</Count>
<Status>Ok</Status>
</ResultItemOne>
<ResultItemTwo>
<DbName>gds</DbName>
<DbName>cds</DbName>
<MenuName>GEO DataSets</MenuName>
<Count>8</Count>
<Status>Ok</Status>
</ResultItemTwo>
Thank you very much!

That depends on what XML parsing module you're using.
You never seem to state that.
For that matter, you never show what you've tried so far.
Please tell us what you have tried so far.

| I have tried in this manner:
use XML::XPath;
my $xp=XML::XPath->new(filename=>"xmlin.xml");
my $nodeset1=$xp->find('//DbName');
my @zipcodes1;
if(my @nodelist1=$nodeset1->get_nodelist){
@zipcodes1=map($_->string_value,@nodelist1);
$number=@zipcodes1;
local $"="\n";
}
But by using this method I can't distinguish between the first two
DbName value and the last two.
How to solve it?
Thank you very much!
