Out of memory

[rameshvummadi]

Can some body help me why I am getting "out of memory error". Below is the code I am trying to execute. Mu input xml file is 300KB size.

use XML::Simple;

#assigne variables
my @engines = (1,2,3,4,5);
      
open(OUTPUT, "> "output_file.txt") or die "Can't open output_file.txt") for write: $!";

# create object
$xml = new XML::Simple;

# read XML file
my $data = $xml->XMLin("input.xml",KeyAttr => "number");


foreach $n (@engines)
 
{
 print OUTPUT "***************\n";
 print OUTPUT "Engine $n \n"; 
 print OUTPUT "***************\n";
 print OUTPUT  $data->{Job}->{Step}->{5000}->{Action}->{Engine}->{$n}->{Error};
}

# print the final totals listing

print OUTPUT "****************\n";
print OUTPUT "Final Totals    \n";
print OUTPUT "****************\n";
print OUTPUT $data->{Job}->{Step}->{5000}->{Action}->{Engine}->{Log};
print OUTPUT $data->{Job}->{Step}->{7000}->{Action}->{Engine}->{Log};
print OUTPUT $data->{Job}->{Step}->{9000}->{Action}->{Engine}->{Log};

close OUTPUT;

first off please use code tags

open(OUTPUT, "> "output_file.txt") or die "Can't open output_file.txt") for write: $!";

problem could be here

open(OUTPUT, ">", "output_file.txt") or die "Can't open output_file.txt for write: $! ";

as well we will need some sample input.xml code to help you more

if this line is literally written like this:

open(OUTPUT, "> "output_file.txt") or die "Can't open output_file.txt") for write: $!";

It will just cause the script to abort with an error so I can't see how that would cause an out of memory error.

Add this to your code:

use warnings;

Add this to your code:

use warnings;

open(OUTPUT, "> "output_file.txt")  This line is actually
 open(OUTPUT, "> output_file.txt")

I typed it wrongly while posting. Sorry.

Ok, Icecrack was kind enough to ask you to please use code tags, I have fixed your first post and now, your latest post STILL has no code tags.

The code tags are NOT an option and are required. You need to please read the Posting Guidelines for this site.

This is your only warning after having been asked to use them.

as posted above we will need some sample of your xml file or the whole.
this way we can test it, and see if its your site or its the scirpt.


Thank you.
