My fist task is to find someword and replace it wordToBeReplased.
I am not worrying yet to have my code go to that directory
since I am working in that directory where my xml file is located

Here's what I have done for my first task.

Code:

#someFunction2(){

   # Below is the testFile.xml that I am trying to search and store the result in testFile2. The result stored in 
   # testFile2 is in the format 12:something ( where 12 is the line number and something is the text I am looking for)

   grep -n someword testFile.xml>testFile2.xml

   #This command takes the output from the previous file and extracts the first two
   #characters i.e. it gives me line number 12 and stores it in testFile3.xml


   cut -c1-2 testFile2.xml>testFile3.xml


   # Now my next task is to go that line number and replace that line with someword="wordToBeReplaced"
   # I know I have to use sed command but not sure how.

   

#}

#someFunction2 $1

crm_verify

PACEMAKER(8)						  System Administration Utilities					      PACEMAKER(8)

NAME

       Pacemaker - Part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager

SYNOPSIS

       crm_verify [modifiers] data_source

DESCRIPTION

       crm_verify - Check a (complete) confiuration for syntax and common conceptual errors.

       Checks the well-formedness of an XML configuration, its conformance to the configured DTD/schema and for the presence of common misconfigu-
       rations.

       It reports two classes of problems, errors and warnings. Errors must be fixed before the cluster will work properly. However, it is left up
       to the administrator to decide if the warnings should also be fixed.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      This text

       -$, --version
	      Version information

       -V, --verbose
	      Increase debug output

   Data sources:
       -L, --live-check
	      Check the configuration used by the running cluster

       -x, --xml-file=value
	      Check the configuration in the named file

       -X, --xml-text=value
	      Check the configuration in the supplied string

       -p, --xml-pipe
	      Check the configuration piped in via stdin

   Additional Options:
       -S, --save-xml=value
	      Save the verified XML to the named file.	Most useful with -L

EXAMPLES

       Check the consistency of the configuration in the running cluster:

	      # crm_verify --live-check

       Check the consistency of the configuration in a given file and produce verbose output:

	      # crm_verify --xml-file file.xml --verbose
