Can you please help me with an awk as it will check the folder and if any file comes then it will check for the relevant value and change the root element...

I hope you got it. I need a generalised one not on particular XML files

Thanks

Why don't you use some XML command line tool like xmlstarlet, some XML related Perl module or XMLgawk?

I am not sure whether these would work in my AIX machine.

Thats why i am looking for a generalised solution using awk.

Can you please help me with that.

Thanks
