Hi! I'm just new here and don't know much about shell scripting. I just want to ask for help in creating a shell script that will parse a string or value of the status in the xml file. Please sample xml file below. Can you please help me create a simple script to get the value of status? Also it would be better if I can get the values of each parameter from the xml file. I really need it asap. Hope someone can help me. Thanks!
If you have the whole XML on ONE line (a very simplified non bullet-proof approach) :
nawk -f ay.awk ay.xml
ay.awk:
If you have your XML in a different format, pls post the sample using vB-code tags.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
simplexml_load_file
SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3) 1 SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3)simplexml_load_file - Interprets an XML file into an objectSYNOPSIS
SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_file (string $filename, [string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement"], [int $options], [string $ns = ""],
[bool $is_prefix = false])
DESCRIPTION
Convert the well-formed XML document in the given file to an object.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the XML file
Note
Libxml 2 unescapes the URI, so if you want to pass e.g. b&c as the URI parameter a, you have to call sim-
plexml_load_file(rawurlencode('http://example.com/?a=' . urlencode('b&c'))). Since PHP 5.1.0 you don't need to do this
because PHP will do it for you.
o $class_name
- You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_load_file(3) will return an object of the specified class. That class
should extend the SimpleXMLElement class.
o $options
- Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the $options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
o $ns
- Namespace prefix or URI.
o $is_prefix
- TRUE if $ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the XML document, or FALSE on failure.
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data.
Tip
Use libxml_use_internal_errors(3) to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors(3) to iterate over them afterwards.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Interpret an XML document
<?php
// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.
if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
print_r($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
This script will display, on success:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[title] => Example Title
...
)
At this point, you can go about using $xml->title and any other elements.
