use the teamsite::dirwalk module and then the XMLParser module .. Were you looking out for something else?

this is what i have:

use TeamSite::XMLparser;

my $parser = TeamSite::XMLparser->new();
my $rootnode = $parser->parse($xml);
if (!defined $rootnode)
{

}

What are you looking for? Please detail your requirement.. How I understand is that you want to dirwalk one of the directories with a **** number of DCRs (Data Capture Records) and you want to replace a particular string with some other string if that particular string exists in one of the fields in the DCR. Is that what you are looking for?

Are you looking for the code to do the above?

What you have will parse a variable with some XML in there. There are a lot of pieces missing.

Namely, finding the DCRs you want to read, reading each one into you variable $xml, finding the correct fields, replacing the fields, generating the new XML and saving it to a file.

Then the question is, is it worth it ? You seem to have zero experience with Perl. If you do something like this, the chances of getting it wrong and messing up a lot of DCRs are high.

Is there another way to do it ? Is this a 1 time operation ? Can you search the repository for the DCRs that have this field and change it with textedit ?
