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:
Code:
sed 's/<doc_root><\/doc_root>/<doc_root>\/'$i'\/web<\/doc_root>/g' $my_file > $my_file
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
Code:
<doc_root></doc_root>
Here is a typical replace string
Code:
<doc_root>/domain.co.uk/web</doc_root>
where the daomin.co.uk will be an argument from a for loop i.e $i
Please help before my boss gets angry with me
I will look into the function of the sed but you are redirecting the output to the same file name, you shud never do that. that is why u have 0kb file.
redirect it to a temp file
verify the result
mv tempfile filename

I'm not sure if the problem I'm seeing is an artifact of sed or simply a beginner's mistake. Here's the problem: I want to add a zero-width space following each underscore between XML tags. For example, if I had the following xml:

Hello all,
Search & replace works fine using sed on a single file.
Ex:

XGFMERGE(1) General Commands Manual XGFMERGE(1)NAME
xgfmerge - merges two Xgridfit program files
SYNOPSIS
xgfmerge [options] file-a file-b [...]
DESCRIPTION
Xgfmerge merges two or more Xgridfit program files, where file-a is a program generated automatically from an existing font using TTX and
ttx2xgf, and file-b and any other files in the list contain other programming for the font. Xgfmerge outputs the merged programming to
stdout. To capture the output in a file, use this syntax:
$xgfmerge -o merged-file.xgf file-a.xgf file-b.xgf
Note: To merge Xgridfit instructions with those already in a font, the best method is now to run Xgridfit in merge-mode (option -m).
OPTIONS -c Look for a <default type="compile-globals"/> element in each file after the first in the list. If value="no" then ignore all
<default>, <control-value>, <function>, <macro> and <pre-program> elements in the file.
-h Display a help message.
-n Merge <no-compile> elements from all files. <glyph> elements with duplicate "ps-name" attributes are ignored.
-o file
The file to write the output to. If this option is not used, output is written to stdout.
-p When a <pre-program> element in a file other than file-a is available, use it instead of the one from file-a. If this option is not
present, xgfmerge merges the programming in the <pre-program> of file-a with that in the <pre-program> of whichever file is being
merged at the moment. The result is unlikely to be good if a single run of xgfmerge merges the contents of more than two <pre-
program> elements.
-s Sort <glyph> elements in the output file into alphabetical order.
-v Verbose output: xgfmerge tells you what it is doing at each step.
-x Resolve XIncludes before merging all files in the list except for file-a. Any XIncludes from file-a.xgf are stripped out of the
files before this operation is performed. If XInclude is used to bring global elements (<control-value>, <function>, etc.) into
these files, it is probably a good idea to use the -c option as well.
FILES
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/merge.xsl
An XSLT script that performs the merge.
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/xinclude.xsl
An XSLT script that strips out unwanted XIncludes.
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/sort-glyphs.xsl
An XSLT script that sorts glyph elements in a file.
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/utils/add-blanks.sed
Does some formatting of the output.
