Hi All,
I have the below sample XML dump structure after reading it into XMLSimple:
Ive also uploaded an attachment of the actual XML example as the below is formatting screwed up!
$VAR1 = {
'Response' => [
{
'RTAG' => 'closure47',
'UUID' => 'Group000',
'Group' => [ {
'NAME' => 'null',
'GroupRef' => [
{
'GID' => 'Canada'
},
{
'GID' => 'United States'
}
],
'GID' => 'Group000',
'TYPE' => 'SELLFIRM',
'Property' => [
{
'VALUE' => 'SELLFIRM'
'NAME' => 'Level'
},
{
'VALUE' => 'Portfolio Type 1',
'NAME' => 'Portfolio Type'
},
............
............
...........
The below codes loops through above and returns the correct 'GID' within the 'Group' nodes:
my $i = 0;
my $j = 0;
foreach $e (@{ $data->{Response} }) {
for ($i = 0; $i < scalar (@{$e->{Group}}); $i++) { #Loop through the 'Group'
print "{Group}[$i]->{GID}: ", $e->{Group}[$i]->{GID}, "\n"; # get GID's
}
}
Im trying to use the above to output the 'GID's within the 'Groupref' nodes, something along the lines of this:
my $i = 0;
my $j = 0;
foreach $e (@{ $data->{Response} }) {
for ($i = 0; $i < scalar (@{$e->{Group}}); $i++) { #Loop through the 'Group'
print "{Group}[$i]->{GID}: ", $e->{Group}[$i]->{GID}, "\n"; # get GID's
for ($j = 0; $j < scalar (@{$e->{Group}->{GroupRef}}); $j++) { #Loop through the 'Group'
print "{Group}[$i]->{GroupRef}[$j]->{GID}: ", $e->{Group}[$i]->{GroupRef}[$j]->{GID}, "\n"; #'Canada'
}
}
}
but I get the below error:
{Group}[0]->{GID}: Group000
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at testXMLSimple.pl line 51.
Clearly the portion of the for loop scalar (@{$e->{Group}->{GroupRef}}); ie trying to find the size of the array is causing the issue.
If i replaced the for loop with something like for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) ... ths would work but obviously as a test, I cant harcode the upper limit to 10!
Ive also uploaded an attachment if the formatting of the XML is screwed up!
any ideas greatly appreciated?
Kind regards
Satnam
Any ideas on how to find the size of the array in the line
