Perl xml - get value

Question

I was using this to get the value under properties which work well when I have only one

$val = $child->findvalue('@value');

But now have several elements under properties, is there an easy way to get the value of property that is name=”BBB” ?

-<properties> 
       <property name="AAA" value="ABC"/> 
       <property name="BBB" value="DGT"/>
       <property name="CCC" value="DGT"/>
 </properties>

What module are you using? And, are you stuck with it or are you open to other options? — Birei

Using XPath.

$val = $child->findvalue('property[@name="BBB"]/@value');

For additional examples of XPaths, check out: XPath Examples

findvalue takes an XPath as an argument. The XPath to fetch the desired value with the properties element as the context node is

property[@name="BBB"]/@value
