Hi Murphy,

I believe this will work if the XML file has elements after new lines what if it is one line XML file then grep wont work.

I am assuming i am not sure if i am right above.

Here is what i wrote ...changing the original request..the XML element and value has changed...

{
+2 if ( grep -F "<NumberType>BHT</NumberType>" )
+3 {
+4 gsub(/XmlInterchange/,"XmlInterchange_new",$0);print $0;
+5 }
+6 else
+7 print $0;
+8 }
+9

Can you confirm if this is fine.

And what if the XML file is one line file.

Regards
Karan

cgi::xml

XML(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  XML(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::XML;
	 $q = new CGI::XML;

	 # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
	 $xml = $q->toXML;
	 $xml = $q->toXML($root);

	 # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
	 $q->toCGI($xml);

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

       CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.

METHODS

       $q = new CGI::XML
	   creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm.

       $q->toXML([$root])
	   where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element.

       $q->toCGI($xml)
	   where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they
	   exist.

NOTE

       CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release.
