i made a script to update a lot of xml files. to save me some time. Ran it and it replaced all the the files with a 0kb file. The problem i was having is that I am using sed to change xml node <doc_root>. The problem with this is it has a / in the closing xml tag and the stuff inside will also have a bunch of / because it is a file path. so i am using sed and was hoping this would work:
Is my problem in the regex or is it because I am using $my_file > $my_file ? do i need to copy it to a temp file first the mv it to old file?
Or if its the regex can someone help with that
Here is the search string
Here is a typical replace string

stag-splitter
STAG-SPLITTER(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation STAG-SPLITTER(1p)NAME
stag-splitter - splits a stag file into multiple files
SYNOPSIS
stag-splitter -split person -name social_security_no file.xml
DESCRIPTION
Splits a file using a user specified parser (default xml) around a specified split node, naming each file according to the name argument
the files will be named anonymously, unless the '-name' switch is specified; this will use the value of the specified element as the
filename
eg; if we have
<top>
<a>
<b>foo</b>
<c>yah</c>
<d>
<e>xxx</e>
</d>
</a>
<a>
<b>bar</b>
<d>
<e>wibble</e>
</d>
</a>
</top>
if we run
stag-splitter -split a -name b
it will generate two files, "foo.xml" and "bar.xml"
input format can be 'xml', 'sxpr' or 'itext' - if this is left blank the format will be guessed from the file suffix
the output format defaults to the same as the input format, but another can be chosen.
files go in the current directory, but this can be overridden with the '-dir' switch
USAGE
stag-splitter [-split <ELEMENT-NAME>] [-name <ELEMENT-NAME>] [-dir <DIR>] [-format <INPUT-FORMAT>] [-outformat <OUTPUT-FORMAT>] <FILENAMES>
-p|parser FORMAT
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
xml assumed as default
-w|writer FORMAT
