perl xpath based

[saran3b2]

Hi all

I have doubt in perl script within XML.


This is XML data:

[CODE=xml]<float id="1" type="box"><flo at id="2" type="need"><float id="3" type="new">Alth ough there are a number of commercial sites that have free legal information, FindLaw (<uri km="Bm.Ap.A_1.A _URL.A.URL" xlink:href="htt p://www.findlaw.com ">www.findlaw.c om</uri>)</float></float><float type="web">(<ur i km="Bm.Ap.A_1.A _URL.A.URL" xlink:href="htt p://www.findlaw.com ">www.findlaw.c om</uri>)</float></float>

<fig id="1" type="box"><fig id="2" type="need"><fig id="3" type="new">Alth ough there are a number of commercial sites that have free legal information, FindLaw (<sum km="Bm.Ap.A_1.A _URL.A.URL" xlink:href="htt p://www.findlaw.com ">www.findlaw.c om</sum>)</fig></fig><fig type="web">(<ur i km="Bm.Ap.A_1.A _URL.A.URL" xlink:href="htt p://www.findlaw.com ">www.findlaw.c om</uri>)</fig></fig>[/CODE]


I want to select the content from the above sample for xml, only if the node with attribute value type is equal to "need" (type="need") with related closing tag. I cant specified any tag, attribute only specified.

or any module is there.

Pls advice

thanks in adv

For reading the contents from your XML file, you can use either XML::Simple or XML::Parser
