I'm trying to write a regular expression to escape the < charactar
within an XML file. I only want to escape the character when its the
value of a node. Ex:
"<xmlnode>one < two</xmlnode>"
[...]
This seems to scream out to me to not use a regex, but one of
the XML parser modules. XML::Simple is probably a good place
to start.
XML::Simple is probably a bad place to start for not wellformed
XML data, and most probably the OP is just about to fix his
raw data so that it becomes parseable.
The only module I know of that may be worth a look is
XML::Liberal, which applies some fixups on its own, but I haven't
used this one at all.
