Help with find and replace in XML
Hello Guys,
I have this requirement with several hundred files.
I have this first set of xml's files with the following tags spread across the file
FILE in SET A
<Name>Lion</Name>
<Age>15</Age>
.....
....
...
<Date>2009-12-12</Date>
Now i have this another set of files which also have the same tags again randomly spread across in the file.
FILE SET B
<Name>xxxx</Name>
......
......
<Age>yyy</Age>
.....
....
<Date>zzzz</Date>
My requirement is that i have around 6 matching tags in both the files.I need replace the data between those matching the tags in SET B with that of SET A.
I am currently thinking in 2 lines:
1. Either replacing the tags completely.
2. Replacing only data within the matching tags.
Can anyone please suggest me how to implement this?
Cheers!!

tiffcmp
tiffcmp(1) User Commands tiffcmp(1)
NAME
tiffcmp - compare two TIFF files
SYNOPSIS
tiffcmp [options] file1.tif file2.tif
DESCRIPTION
tiffcmp compares the tags and data in two files created according to the Tagged Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The schemes used for com-
pressing data in each file are immaterial when comparing data. Files are compared on a scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression. Most
directory tags are checked, notable exceptions are GrayResponseCurve, ColorResponseCurve, and ColorMap tags. Data is not compared if any of
the BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, or ImageWidth values are not equal. By default, tiffcmp terminates if any difference is encountered.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-l List each byte of image data that differs between the files.
-t Ignore any differences in directory tags.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
filex.tif The names of the TIFF files to be compared.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWTiff |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Interface stability |Uncommitted |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
pal2rgb(1), tiffinfo(1), tiffcp(1), tiffmedian(1), libtiff(3)
NOTES
Tags that are not recognized by the library are not compared. Such tags may also generate spurious diagnostics.
