Question Find required files by pattern in xml files and the change the pattern on Linux
Hello,

I need to find all *.xml files that matched by pattern on Linux. I need to have written the file name on the screen and then change the pattern in the file just was found.

For instance.

I can start the script with arguments for keyword and for value, i.e

script.sh keyword "another word"

Script should find all files with keyword and do the following changes in the files containing keyword.

<keyword></keyword> should be the same <keyword></keyword>
<keyword>some word</keyword> should be like this <keyword>some word, another word</keyword>

In other words if initially value in keyword node was empty, then I don't need to change it and if it contains some value then I need to extend it with the value I will specify.

What is best way to do this on Linux?

Thank you.

apropos

apropos(1)							   User Commands							apropos(1)

NAME

       apropos - locate commands by keyword lookup

SYNOPSIS

       apropos keyword...

DESCRIPTION

       The apropos utility displays the man page name, section number, and a short description for each man page whose NAME line contains keyword.
       This information is contained in the /usr/share/man/windex database created by catman(1M). If catman(1M) was not run, or was run  with  the
       -n  option,  apropos  fails. Each word is considered separately and the case of letters is ignored. Words which are part of other words are
       considered; for example, when looking for `compile', apropos finds all instances of `compiler' also.

       apropos is actually just the -k option to the man(1) command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 To find a man page whose NAME line contains a keyword

       Try

	 example% apropos password

       and

	 example% apropos editor

       If the line starts `filename(section) ...' you can run

	 man -s section filename

       to display the man page for filename.

       Example 2 To find the man page for the subroutine printf()

       Try

	 example% apropos format

       and then

	 example% man -s 3s printf

       to get the manual page on the subroutine printf().

FILES

       /usr/share/man/windex	 table of contents and keyword database

DIAGNOSTICS

	   This database does not exist. catman(1M) must be run to create it.
