This is one way to do it:

Code:

dir1="dir1"
dir2="dir2"
echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" >xml_file.xml
echo "<Karaoke>" >>xml_file.xml
for x in `ls -1 ${dir1}/* ${dir2}/*`
do
  IFS=$'\n'
  file=`echo ${x} | sed 's/.*\/\|.*\///g'`
  dir=`echo ${x} | sed 's/\/.*//g'`
  echo "<item name= \"${file}\" id=\"1\">/$dir/$file</item>" >>xml_file.xml
done
echo "</Karaoke>" >>xml_file.xml


$ cat xml_file.xml
<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?>
<Karaoke>
<item name= "0001 More Than I Can Say.vob" id="1">/dir1/0001 More Than I Can Say.vob</item>
<item name= "0002 Morning Has Broken.vob" id="1">/dir1/0002 Morning Has Broken.vob</item>
<item name= "0003 My Way Rumba.vob" id="1">/dir1/0003 My Way Rumba.vob</item>
<item name= "0004 Papa.vob" id="1">/dir1/0004 Papa.vob</item>
<item name= "0005 Touch By Touch.vob" id="1">/dir1/0005 Touch By Touch.vob</item>
<item name= "0006 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0006 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0007 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0007 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0008 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0008 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0009 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0009 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
<item name= "0010 Unchained Melody.vob" id="1">/dir2/0010 Unchained Melody.vob</item>
</Karaoke>

vk_logmerge

VK_LOGMERGE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    VK_LOGMERGE(1)

NAME

       vk_logmerge - a Valgrind XML log file merger

SYNOPSIS

       vk_logmerge [flags and input files in any order]

DESCRIPTION

       vk_logmerge is a valkyrie(1) helper. Given multiple log files (in xml format) generated by multiple runs on a parallel machine, or multiple
       log files generated by sequential runs on a single-processor machine, for the same binary, vk_logmerge merges the log files together,  sum-
       ming  the  counts of duplicates, and outputs the result to a single file. As input, vk_logmerge expects the log-files to-be-merged and/or a
       file containing the list of log-files to-be-merged, with each entry on a separate line.

       Log files can be merged from within valkyrie(1) , or use can invoke vk_logmerge directly.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show help message

       -v     Be verbose (more -v's give more)

       -t     Output plain text (non-xml)

       -f <log_list>
	      Obtain input files from <log_list> file (one per line)

       -o <writefile>
	      File to write output to

       At least 1 input file must be given.

       If no '-o outfile' is given, writes to standard output.

EXAMPLES

       vk_logmerge log1.xml -f loglist.fls -o merged.xml

SEE ALSO

       valkyrie(1), valgrind(1).

       vk_logmerge was written by Donna Robinson, Cerion Armour-Brown and others.
