in reply to Logic Help - Output to csv

Assuming that you need to figure out the columns dynamically, here's one way to do it:

use warnings; use strict; use XML::LibXML; use Text::CSV; my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => 'example.xml'); my %items; for my $product ($dom->findnodes('/products/product')) { my $sku = $product->findvalue('sku'); for my $downloads ($product->findnodes('downloads')) { for my $group ($downloads->findnodes('group')) { for my $group_items ($group->findnodes('group_items')) { for my $item ($group_items->findnodes('item')) { my $name = $item->findvalue('name'); my $url = $item->findvalue('url'); $items{$sku}{$name} = $url; } } } } } my @columns = sort keys %{{map {$_=>1} map {keys %$_} values %items}}; my $csv = Text::CSV->new({binary=>1, auto_diag=>2, eol=>$/, always_quote=>1 }); $csv->print(select, ["sku", @columns]); for my $sku (sort keys %items) { $csv->print(select, [ $sku, map { $items{$sku}{$_} } @columns ]); }

Note that this does assume that SKUs and the item names per SKU are unique (Update: in other words, that later <item>s don't overwrite earlier ones in the %items hash). Also, note that unless you need to separate out the <downloads>, <group>, or <group_items> elements, you don't need all those nested loops, this produces the same output:

for my $product ($dom->findnodes('/products/product')) { my $sku = $product->findvalue('sku'); for my $item ( $product->findnodes( 'downloads/group/group_items/item') ) { my $name = $item->findvalue('name'); my $url = $item->findvalue('url'); $items{$sku}{$name} = $url; } }
