How to Append the specific data to the xml file

ravi_rn · #1 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009

I have an xml file data as shown below:

<impl name="Nortel" is-enabled="true">
<package-mappings>
<const-mapping target-state="EndPoint"
target-param="cfCNDSubscribed" constant-value="true"/>
<const-mapping target-state="EndPoint"
target-param="cfCWSubscribed" constant-value="true"/>
<const-mapping target-state="EndPoint"
target-param="cfCFVSubscribed" constant-value="true"/>
</package-mappings>

I want to append few line to the last that is after </package-mappings>

i am using the following script
but it seems to be not working

cat File.xml|sed '/$.*<impl name=\"Nortel\" *is-enabled=\"true\".*$/{
N
s:$.*<impl name=\"Nortel\" *is-enabled=\"true\".*$\n$ *$<\/impl>.*$:\1\
\2<attribute max-instances="1" min-instances="0">\
\2 <simple-attribute name="securityLevel" type="number"\
\2is-key-field="false" is-package-defined="false">\
\2</attribute>:
}'

Please some one can help me out in the above issue.

Thank you very much in advance

Code:

data='<impl> .... </impl>
<attribute max-instances="1" min-instances="0">
<simple-attribute name="securityLevel" 
  type="number" is-key-field="false" is-package-defined="false">
</simple-attribute>'

printf "%s\n" "$data" >> File.xml
