Parse a string in XML file using
Hi Matrixmadhan,

I tried your solution but what it prints is the copy of the script and not the result of the script that you created before. What I want to do is instead of seeing the output of the script on the server, I want to append the result of the script in to a file let's say that the output of the script will save it in filename outputfile.txt. How can I include that in the script that you created before? Thanks a lot for answering all my queries!


#! /opt/third-party/bin/perl

my $c = 0;

open(FILE, "<", "sample.txt");

while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
my @arr = split(/></);
foreach (@arr) {
if( /xml version/ ) {
$c++;
print "\n";
}
if( />/ && /</ ) {
if( $c == 1 ) {
s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\1|\2/;
my($tmp1, $tmp2) = split(/\|/);
$data .= (" " . $tmp2);
printf "%s ", $tmp1;
}
else {
s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\2/;
printf "%s ", $_;
}
}
}
print "\n";
print "$data\n" if( /xml version/i );
}

close(FILE);

exit 0

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
