Problem with awk while handling special charaters
Hi,
I have an application.xml file like
</dependency>
<artifactId>_AdminServicesEAR</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-20080521.085352-1</version>
<context-root>oldvalue</context-root>
<type>ear</type>
<DOCTYPE "abc/xyz/eft">
<NewTag>value123</xyz>
<NewTag>value321</abcd>
</dependency>
i need to search & replace the value inside <NewTag> based on the input parameter which iam passing to the script.
eg : ./sampleawk 1 will replace the first occurance of <NewTag>
The command which i am using is
awk -v n=$OCCURENCE -v s="<$KEY>$VALUE<\/" "/<$KEY>(.+)<\//&&n==++c{sub(\"<$KEY>(.+)<\/\",s)}1"
But this command is not working properly if the "$VALUE" contains some
special characters like & , % etc...
CAn anyone help me to change the exisiting command for handling special charcters ???
Thanks in advance
