    <p>I am using this line of code to get two data entries from an XML file</p> <pre><code>perl xmlPerl.pl zbxml.xml "//zabbix_export/templates/template/items/item/name/text() | //zabbix_export/templates/template/items/item/description/text()" </code></pre> <p>Which takes the data, and displays it vertically. For example:</p> <ul> <li>name1 </li> <li>description1 </li> <li>name2 </li> <li>description2</li> </ul> <p>I used this in c# and had some code so that it would display like this</p> <ul> <li>name1 - description1</li> <li>name2 - description2</li> <li>name3 - (blank since there isnt a description)</li> </ul> <p><em>there were even some blanks in description</em>. Here is the c# code, since it may help.</p> <pre><code>XPathExpression expr; expr = nav.Compile("/zabbix_export/templates/template/items/item/name | /zabbix_export/templates/template/items/item/description"); XPathNodeIterator iterator = nav.Select(expr); //Iterate on the node set List&lt;string&gt; listBox1 = new List&lt;string&gt;(); listBox1.Clear(); try { while (iterator.MoveNext()) { XPathNavigator nav2 = iterator.Current.Clone(); // nav2.Value; listBox1.Add(nav2.Value); Console.Write(nav2.Value); iterator.MoveNext(); nav2 = iterator.Current.Clone(); Console.Write("-" + nav2.Value + "\n"); </code></pre> <p>Well, I am having to switch it to Perl now, and I am not sure if I should try and find some Perl code to do what I need, or if this can be done in XPath? I tried looking at some w3 tutorials, but didn't find what I was looking for.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>edit - would I need to edit this part of my xmlPerl.pl</p> <pre><code># print each node in the list foreach my $node ( $nodeset-&gt;get_nodelist ) { print XML::XPath::XMLParser::as_string( $node ) . "\n"; } </code></pre>

    1. COIf you already have `xmlPerl.pl` why can't you just modify it?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
