xmlstarlet template parse small xml file
I have a file like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<geonames>
<geoname>
<toponymName>Palos Verdes</toponymName>
<name>Palos Verdes</name>
<lat>42.1628912</lat>
<lng>-123.6481235</lng>
<geonameId>5718340</geonameId>
<countryCode>US</countryCode>
<countryName>United States</countryName>
<fcl>P</fcl>
<fcode>PPL</fcode>
<distance>0.1304</distance>
</geoname>
</geonames>

which I was using awk to parse <toponymName> of Palos Verdes, but that's 2 words, which is 2 fields, so I am trying to update my code to use xmlstarlet, so far here's what I have:
Code:
lat="42.163485"
lon="-123.646759"
url="http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceName?lat=$lat&lng=$lon"
curl -s "$url" > xmlfile
city=`/usr/bin/xmlstarlet sel -m -v "toponymName" xmlfile`
country_code=`/usr/bin/xmlstarlet sel -m -v "countryCode" xmlfile`
echo "city $city"
echo "country_code: $country_code"

and I get the error:
Code:
error in arguments: no -t or --template options found

I'm not clear what the role of a template is, is this some class I have to call up, does it already exist, or do you have to make one for each style of xml file?

WMSUN(1)						      General Commands Manual							  WMSUN(1)

NAME

       WMSUN - Dockable WindowMaker SunRise/SunSet App

SYNOPSIS

       wmSun [-h] [-display <Display>] [-lat <Latitude>] [-lon <Longitude>] [-td <TimeDiff>] [-date <yyyymmdd>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmSun displays the current day's Sun Rise and Set Times. You must enter your LAtitude and Longitude correctly for it to work.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display <display>
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -lat <Latitude>
	      Set latitude of observer.

       -lon <Longitude>
	      Set longitude of observer.

       -td <UT - LT>
	      Set  the	difference  beteeen  UT and LT. Useful when you want to show the Sunrise/Sunset at a remote lat/lon without resetting your
	      clock.

       -date <yyyymmdd>
	      Set the date to show sunrise/sunset for.

EXAMPLES

       wmSun -lon 106.3 -lat 35.9
	      this would display rise/set times at Los Alamos in local time.

       wmSun -lat 19.58 -lon 155.92 -td 10
	      this would display rise/set times in Kona, Hawaii in local time (in winter -- you need to take  into  account  daylight  savings	at
	      other times of the year).

BUGS

       Who knows? (Let me know if you find any).
