Need help in creating a Unix Script to parse xml file

Hi All,

My requirement is create an unix script to parse the xml file and display the values of the Elements/value between the tags on console. Like say, I would like to fetch the value of errorCode from the below xml which is 'U007' and display it. Can we use SED command for this? I have tried using the following command but is not working:

Code:

sed -n -e "s/<errorCode>\([a-z]*[0-9]*\)<\/errorCode>/\1/p" /x01/hub/data/incoming/Txn200802251031080012-093624998419.xml

Code:

<gDSNError>
  <errorCode>U007</errorCode> 
  <errorDescription>00093624998419|BEST_BUY_LONG_DESCRIPTION|PDQ Import - The value coded against this attribute exceeds the maximum field length. Please amend & resend.</errorDescription> 
  <errorDateTime>2008-02-26T09:04:11.728-00:00</errorDateTime> 
  </gDSNError>

Can anyone please help me in creating the unix script to parse and display the values between the tags. Its damn urgent requirement for me I would be very thankful if anyone can help me on this
