Re^2: number of keys and values in a hash

i tried like that as you said but i have one doubt

#!/usr/bin/perl
    use warnings;
    use strict;

    use XML::LibXML::Reader;

my $file;open $file, 'formal.xml');

my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new( IO => $file ) or die ("unable t
+o open file");

while ( $reader->nextElement( 'DATA' ) ) {

my $info = $reader->readOuterXml();

$reader->nextElement( 'number' ); 

my $number = $reader->readInnerXml(); 

$nums{$number}=$info;

print( "num: $number\n" );

print( " datainfo: $info\n" 
}
[download]

it excuting but can i print hash directly not using

print( "num: $number\n" );

print( " datainfo: $info\n"
[download]

i tried like this

print %nums;
[download]

but it excuting infinity times. and also how to specify input path outside the module.

Sigh, I think that your real problem is the lack of a solid basis. I don't want to be rude but it seems that you don't know exactly what are you doing. If you need help to iterate, print a hash or even open a file, the best advice that I can give you is: "Stop now, stop to write code for a while and read some manuals". `how can i count number of keys in hash can you tel me how to create hash table in my code. how can i iterate all keys in my hash I need to to fill my hash with all keys` [download] If you open the manual for the function keys (perldoc -f keys) you will have the answer to your first question in the fourth line. If you take a look to the faqs (perldoc perlfaq) you will see that the perlfaq4 cover "How do I process an entire hash?" and "How can I know how many entries are in a hash?" Well... just read the manual, we can't do this for you...	[reply] [d/l]

Naturally when you put a print statement inside a loop it prints as often as the loop is executed. And when you have a print statement inside a loop inside another loop, this print statement will be executed much much more often. If you don't want to print so many times, put the print statement AFTER the loop(s).	[reply]
