Thanks so much.
Have never worked with Perl before and downloaded tutorial to help me understand the syntax. Would you suggest a good book on it?
This code was awesome. The input file does consist of lots more information and the task tag has about 2 dozen attributes. (This is an embedded software file created by another integrator and has about 1000 tasks in it with multiple tags underneath). I do software code checking as code changes, this whole file was being recreated. Now all that has to be done is change the task xml file and re-imbed it. Magic..
The xml code is on an intranet machine and cannot be copied from, so the file and problem was abbreviated for convenience.
The only problem was
(m/id="(.*)"/)
actually captured the whole line including other attributes.
Each task is defined by the same version number appended to the end. I got the correct name by adding
(m/id="(.*)VERS5"/).
The last part was not captured, but it did end there. I tried the
(m/s/id="(.*)VERS5"/)
but it did not work. I got what I wanted by doing the perl then
ls *.xml > temp1
sed -e "s|.xml||g" temp1 > temp2
cat temp2 |xargs -n 1| while read TASKNAME
do
mv $TASKNAME.xml $TASKNAME'Vers5.xml'
done
This is the first time I have worked with Sun workstations and don't have this scripting thing down but with the help of this website, I have been able to do lots of neat things which have saved time.
Thanks all, this site is fantastic.
PS I am thinking about getting a MAC now that I am starting to understand UNIX. Any suggestions on what I should get?
Thanks again,
MissI

docbook2gjots
DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1) General Commands Manual DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1)
NAME
docbook2gjots - Convert a DOCBOOK file to gjots format (on stdout)
SYNOPSIS
docbook2gjots [ DOCBOOK-file ]
DESCRIPTION
docbook2gjots converts a DOCBOOK XML file into gjots format.
docbook2gjots uses gawk(1) to perform the conversion.
<preface>, <chapter>, <section>, <sect1>, <sect2>, <sect3> and <sect4> tags are used to define NewEntry and NewFolder boundaries. They
should definitely have <title> tags.
This is a quick and dirty hack using gawk(1) and does no formal checking of XML or SGML syntax nor does it validate against the DOCBOOK
DTD. Consequently, if the syntax of the file is broken the conversion will probably fail.
It is intended that a round-trip can be made so that gjots(1) can be used as a tool at all stages of DOCBOOK production - mainly as an out-
line processor to help the author organise and order the work. A document may well start its life in gjots(1) as the initial thoughts are
marshalled. As the document forms up, it can be converted to DOCBOOK with the following command which automatically adds tags such as
<?xml...>, <para> etc:
gjots2docbook -b file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
Or, starting with an existing DOCBOOK file:
docbook2gjots file.xml >file.gjots
In the latter case, the document will already have a lot of DOCBOOK tags so to convert back to docbook, add the -e and -p options:
gjots2docbook -b -p -e file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
