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!!
