Perhaps I am dense, but what is the desired output from the given XML?
Hello Chas,
From xml file, based on attribute value for bayking id, I want to find
kingtony and then I want to traverse back up to yahoo and print
everything from
<yahoo> to </yahoo>
I have tried to use xpath //../../bayking but doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to ultimately push below find value into hash of hash
reference such as
<yahoo V="baz"> $list{'yahoo'} = { 'V' => 'baz'}
<bayking id="kingtony" country="Russia" active="true">
$list{'bayking'} = { 'id' => 'kingtony' , 'country' => 'Russia',
'active' => 'true' }
I am able to find what I am looking for 'kingtony' but having tough time
traversing back to right yahoo element and accessing all data.
<yahoo V="baz">
<bay_id>
<value>1000</value>
<fact>yes</fact>
</bay_id>
<bay_seen>
<value>50</value>
<fact>no</fact>
</bay_seen>
<bay_overall value="disabled"/>
<bayking_list>
<bayking id="kingtony" country="Russia" active="true">
<bayking type="dictator"/>
<bay_usage value="none"/>
<bayking_origin>
<bayking_origin_name value="ohio_usa"
emmigrate="no">
<economy_status_previous value="very poor" />
</bayking_origin_name>
</bayking_origin>
</bayking>
</bayking_list>
