Hello All,

Hope all is fine. I am using Bourne Shell (sh) . I have this simple XML structure ( it's very well defined and this is how this fixed structure will be). The exact sample is as follows (There will always be one value per tag):

<Users>
<Host>
<hostAddress>180.144.226.47</hostAddress>
<userName>pwdfe</userName>
<password>hjitre</password>
<instanceCount>2</instanceCount>
</Host>
<Host>
<hostAddress>180.144.226.87</hostAddress>
<userName>trrrer</userName>
<password>jhjjhhj</password>
<instanceCount>3</instanceCount>
</Host>
<Host>
<hostAddress>180.455.226.87</hostAddress>
<userName>wewqw</userName>
<password>dfsdfd</password>
<instanceCount>3</instanceCount>
</Host>
</Users>
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I want to create an array with only the values of the xml tags . For e.g. H_ARRAY ('180.144.226.47','180.144.226.87','180.144.226.87'). Then I will traverse throught the values of array accordingly. I am newbie to shell scripting and especially "SED" command which after repeated attempts was unable to understand. Would appreciate your help. Let me know if I missed on something,


H_ARRAY=( `echo ${hostAddress}` )
U_ARRAY=( `echo ${userName}` )
P_ARRAY=( `echo ${password}` )
I_ARRAY=( `echo ${instanceCount}` )

Thanks,
Sam
