Help needed in writing awk script for xml source

naren_0101bits · #1 (**permalink**) 09-24-2007

Hi, i am not able to get an approach for converting xml file to flat file using awk programming. Can anyone help me out.

The input xml is like this:

<outer>
<field1>one</field1>
<field2>two</field2>
<field3>three<Error Code=777 Description=12345/></field3>
<field4>four</field4>
</outer>

Expected output is like this:

field1 field2 field3 field4 Code Description
one two three four 777 12345

The field1, field2, ... should not be hardcoded.

Thanks in advance,
Naren

Yes, both the posts looks very similar and they come from the same IP. I have a feeling it is a homework question.

Closing this thread and the other one.
