There is a bug in the regular expression ordering.  I ran into this a
couple weeks ago, and had not got around posting it to the mailing
list.  I spent a couple hours mucking about before I figured out that
the listings need all three elements.  Only tested on tv_grab_na
listings.

#!/usr/bin/perl 
 
while (<STDIN>) { 
        chomp; 
        if (/^\s+<channel\sid=\"(.*)\">$/) { 
                $last_id = $1; 

          # This test is a bit less generic than the next, so running 
          # it first makes things work better.
        } elsif (/^\s+<display-name>\d+\s(.*)<\/display-name>$/) { 
                $last_name = $1; 

          # This test is a bit more generic than the last, so running
          # it later makes things work better
        } elsif (/^\s+<display-name.*>(.+)<\/display-name>$/) { 
                $last_chan = $1; 
        } elsif (/^\s+<\/channel>$/) { 
                print "('$last_id', '$last_name', '$last_chan'),\n"; 
        } 
}
