Hallo all,

I try to create a bash script but till now without any positiv results.
The script should replace different variables in a text file with the right xml values

Look at the following xml file:

file.xml

===================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Daten>
<export_date>2008-07-15 16:29:01</export_date>
<language>english</language>
===================================

temp.txt

===================================
All dates were exported at <export_date>
The text was translated in <language>
===================================

script.sh

===================================
#!/bin/bash

IFS=$'\n'

for i in `cat file.xml | sed 's/>/ /g' | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/</ /g' | sed 's/ //g'`
do


for j in `grep "$i" temp.txt | sed 's/.*<//g'| sed 's/>.*//g' `
do
#echo $j
for h in `cat temp.txt | sed -e "s/"$j"/$(cat file.xml | grep "$j" | sed 's/>/ /g' | sed 's/</ /g' | awk '{print $2}')/g" >> temp2 `
do
echo $h
done
done


done
==================================================


The aim should be

All dates were exported at 2008-07-15 16:29:01
The text was translated in english.

Do you know how I could work on this?

thx
