Change attribute value in xml using shell script
hi, i am new to unix and i have a problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- sebben.xml Code:
<envelope> <email> sebben@example.com </email> </envelope> script_mail written in the vi editor. Code:
#!/bin/sh script to change the value in attribute <email> echo "type in your emailadress" read MAIL sed?? the script and the xml file is in the same catalog. now what i want the script to do is to change the value in attribute <email> who currently is sebben@example.com to what the user type in. the attribute email should always change to what is typed in and erase the current email in <email> i have tryed to use the sed command but i cant get it to work. I could really use some help if someone has some time over. thanks/ sebben Last edited by Scott; 01-25-2013 at 09:39 PM.. Reason: Please use code tags |

Code:
echo "type in your emailadress"
read MAIL
awk -F'>' -v m="$MAIL" '/<email>/{$2=m;}1' OFS='>' sebben.xmlOr use below code if opening & closing tags are in same line: Code:
awk -v m="$MAIL" '/<email>/{gsub(/>.*</,">"m"<");}1' sebben.xml |

A quick note. As far as XML is concerned, you are trying to change the value of an element - not an attribute. The following shows the difference: Code:
<element attribute="AttributeValue">ElementValue</element> |
