Hi,

I've got a program that deals with both a word doc and an XML file. It uses Win32::OLE and XML::Simple. The XML file provides search strings to find in the word doc. When the search string is found, it's sister node, "value" needs to be changed from 0 to 1. I've read up on XML::Simple, but I'm not seeing where I'm going wrong here. Basically, in the section where I find the search string, it works, and I find the string, but I can't change the value node's value. The code where this is done is below:



XML DATA:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<skills>
<skill>
<type>J2EE</type>
<value>0</value>
</skill>
<skill>
<type>SAN</type>
<value>0</value>
</skill>
<skill>
<type>Cisco</type>
<value>0</value>
</skill>
<skill>
<type>OPNet</type>
<value>0</value>
</skill>
</skills>

Thanks in advance!

You printed out the object using Dumper, could you run again with the Dumper print before and after the loop and also leave the prints in for where the string match is being done (to ensure the matches are occuring)? I don't know if I'll see the problem but I can certainly lend a second set of eyes. :-)

Rob, thanks for your input on this. I actually decided to go a different way altogether, and didn't use XML::Simple. But thanks again.
