Hi PerlMonks

I have the following bilingual file and would like to extract the source and target nodes preserving its xml elements they might have as well as the line breaks. Could you please help me on that? I have no experience in xml parsing with Perl.

Here is a sample of my file:

<trans-unit id="1" maxbytes="14">
    <source xml:lang="en-US">Hello <x id=1/> world!
How are you?</source>
    <target xml:lang="ja-JP">Ciao<x id=1/> mondo!
Come stai?</target>
</trans-unit>
[download]

The expected result should be:

Hello <x id=1/> world! <lb/> How are you? || Ciao<x id=1/> mondo! <lb/> Come stai?

Thank you for your time!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
