Appologies for not making myself clear first time round. Let me try that again:
I have said XML file, which when read in using XML::Simple leaves me with below data structure. Now, I want to end up with: $NEWSTRUCT = { 'device' => { 'sysObjectID' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.219', 'commonModel' => '2900', 'make' => 'cisco' }, 'chassis' => { 'romSysVersion' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.5.1001', 'processorRam' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.6.1001', 'chassisVersion'=> '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.2.1001', 'romVersion' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.4.1001', 'chassisSlots' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.12.1001', 'nvRAMSize' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.7.1001' }, etc. So, I want to 'flatten' the data structure..... Thanks for looking at this a second time. I owe you. ;-) H > > $VAR1 = { > > 'device' => { > > 'sysObjectID' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.219', > > 'chassis' => { > > 'chassisType' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.1.1001', > > 'chassisId' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.711.2.1.1.2.1001', > > 'card' => { > > 'cardType' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.2.1001', > > 'cardIndex' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.711.2.1.2.1.1.1.1001', > > 'cardSwVersion' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.6.1001', > > 'cardDescr' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.3.1001', > > 'cardHwVersion' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.5.1001' > > }, > > 'romSysVersion' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.5.1001', > > 'processorRam' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.6.1001', > > 'chassisVersion' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.2.1001', > > 'romVersion' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.4.1001', > > 'chassisSlots' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.12.1001', > > 'nvRAMSize' => > > '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.7.1001' > > }, > > 'commonModel' => '2900', > > 'make' => 'cisco' > > } > > }; > > > > What, in your (collective) opinion, would be the best way of obtaining > > all the information regarding a card, or chassis or device? > > > > i.e. I want to be able to say, insert the details regarding a card into > > the database and it should return: > > 'card' => { > > 'cardType' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.2.1001', > > 'cardIndex' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.711.2.1.2.1.1.1.1001', > > 'cardSwVersion' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.6.1001', > > 'cardDescr' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.3.1001', > > 'cardHwVersion' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.11.1.5.1001' > > } > > > > I have been battling with this problem for a couple of days without > > success. > > Thanks in advance, > > > > Hamish > > > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > ____________________________________________ > Confidential: This electronic message and all contents contain information > from Syntel, Inc. which may be privileged, confidential or otherwise > protected from disclosure.
