I have some doubts in pattern matching in perl.
I am unable to take more than one line in xml file, the file is as below:
<profile>
<emp>
<name>Mahesh</name>
<age>24</age>
<address>New york</address>
<desig>Developer</desig>
</emp>
</profile>
I need to extract data from <emp>.*</emp>, so that I used code like below:
open(F, "<prof.xml");
while(<F>)
{
$_ =~m/(<emp>.*<\/emp>)/m);
print "$1\n";
}
but I am unable to extract data, Please help me.
update (broquaint): removed HTML tags and added <code> tags

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.
