xml code in bash shell

the wonderer · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2009

Hi,

I am trying to develop a bash script that contains an xml code. I want to put the xml code inside the bash script. Is there a way to make that happen?!

My goal is to create a script that can allow the user to enter some parameters which can be passed by the script to the xml code

.

Kindly advise ..

Thank you,,

are you trying to accept some parameters from the user and put them in an XML file? that's possible. sed or perl would be of help.

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for responding,

Yes, I am trying to do that. But the xml code is not separated. To be more specific:

What I am trying to do is to put the xml code in a sub function or a message that can be called later in the script, as the following:

Code:

#! /bin/bash


message= "POST /Servername HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Admin
Host: localhost
Authorization: Basic <authentication>
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 915

<?xml version="1.0"?>

...

<...>"


# To run the xml code:
$message | telnet 0 10010

The problem is that after the telnet is done the XML request is not seen by the server.

Can you please explain how I can use the perl or sed?

Thanks again !
