Hello,

I have an XML file such as:

<users>
<name>Joe</name>
...
</users>
<users>
<name>Joe1</name>
...
</users>
<users>
<name>Joe2</name>
...
</users>

now how can i grab only the name portions of the XML file and put them into an array. I have been trying different modules, but cant seem tot get it to work.

Any help would be great.

To parse the XML completely you need to use dynamic regular expressions (a regular expression in which it references itself).

The following regular expression will help you out.

/<name>\s*(\w+?)\s*<\/name>/

i was looking around today, and you can do this with the XML::XPath module.

I thought you wanted to do it the hard way
