How have you "loaded" it in?
In a scalar? An array?

Hi jamsman

As Trojan points out - this is very vague

Can you be more specific - and maybe post the first few lines of the XML file?


Kind Regards

its in a scaler at

sorry for the vagueness,
the xml file is a result of a call to a database. the rsult is being stored in a scaler.

the xml file starts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!--
Export Data
DatabaseDTS
Query:"Public Queries/Projects/JamesWhite/James_DTs"
Date: 2005-07-28 11:41:26
-->
<APPLICATION>ARTSPlus
.......
and then the rest of the tags are here

hope this helps

[b]#!/usr/bin/perl[/b]

undef $/;
$_ = <DATA>;
$/ = "\n";

s/(.*)/$1\n      NEW LINE HERE/;

print;

__DATA__
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
