Need the script to remove common strings,tags etc
I have a file say "example.xml" and the contents of this example.xml are

<project name="platform/packages/wallpapers/Basic" path="packages/wallpapers/Basic" revision="225e410f054c4ad5c828b0fec9be1b47c4376711"/>
<project name="platform/packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4" path="packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4" revision="536e9c842b63ad618936b758076edf18f9726d98"/>
<project name="platform/packages/wallpapers/HoloSpiral" path="packages/wallpapers/HoloSpiral" revision="d816c1b97de9609d5479ae85611f9b2bf5f609aa"/>
<project name="platform/packages/wallpapers/LivePicker" path="packages/wallpapers/LivePicker" revision="ad8535ee889d92348da3faa63dcd5ea097952dd9"/>


Now the expected out should be :

platform/packages/wallpapers/Basic
225e410f054c4ad5c828b0fec9be1b47c4376711
platform/packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4

platform/packages/wallpapers/HoloSpiral
d816c1b97de9609d5479ae85611f9b2bf5f609aa
platform/packages/wallpapers/LivePicker
ad8535ee889d92348da3faa63dcd5ea097952dd9

So I need a script which does this. All I need is just remove

.

If your input is well-formed XML, it would be better to use XML XPath tools to extract the data.

Install Perl-XML-XPath in your system and you can use the following to do the job. This perl script take input from STDIN
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use XML::XPath;
$xp = XML::XPath->new(ioref => \*STDIN);
$nodeset = $xp->find('//project');
foreach $node ($nodeset->get_nodelist) {
  print $node->getAttribute('name');
  print $node->getAttribute('revision');
}

thanks
thanks a lot for quick reply.

ambious code is working perfectly.

Presently the output is :

Code:
platform/packages/wallpapers/Basic
225e410f054c4ad5c828b0fec9be1b47c4376711
platform/packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4
536e9c842b63ad618936b758076edf18f9726d98
platform/packages/wallpapers/HoloSpiral
d816c1b97de9609d5479ae85611f9b2bf5f609aa
platform/packages/wallpapers/LivePicker
ad8535ee889d92348da3faa63dcd5ea097952dd9

Now I need to insert a text at every alternate line : I want output something like this :

Code:
Project platform/packages/wallpapers/Basic
225e410f054c4ad5c828b0fec9be1b47c4376711
Project platform/packages/wallpapers/Galaxy4
536e9c842b63ad618936b758076edf18f9726d98
Project platform/packages/wallpapers/HoloSpiral
d816c1b97de9609d5479ae85611f9b2bf5f609aa
Project platform/packages/wallpapers/LivePicker
ad8535ee889d92348da3faa63dcd5ea097952dd9


I did google it.But most of them use sed command. I want it to be done using a single command.


But thanks both of for quick response.Thank you very much,
