Shell script (not Perl) to parse xml with awk
Hi,

I have to make an script according to these:
- I have couples of files like:
xxxxxxxxxxxxx.csv
xxxxxxxxxxxxx_desc.xml
- every xml file has diferent fields, but keeps this format:
........
<defaultName>2011-02-25T16:43:43.582Z</defaultName>
........
<reportSearchPath>CAMID("ualdap:u:tekuid=USER,ou=people")/folder[@name='My Folders']/query[@name='TEST']</reportSearchPath>
.........

- So I have to make an script that, for every csv&xml couple, parse the xml file and takes date in format yyyymmdd_hhmmss, user (tekuid) and reportname (in the example above, 20110225_164358, USER and TEST). Once these 3 fields are extracted, both csv and xml files have to be renamed to this format:
reportname_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_user (.csv or .xml)
(in our example, TEST_20110225_164358_USER)

and moved to /reportname directory and /user directory (one copy in each directory)

My idea is a for loop obtained with a find command, the awk part to extract these 3 fields, and then the rename and move.

Could you please help me? I'm not an expert in scripting, specially in the awk part...

Thx in advance (and sorry for my English)

xlhtml

xlhtml(1)						      General Commands Manual							 xlhtml(1)

NAME

       xlhtml - A program for converting Microsoft Excel Files .xls

SYNOPSIS

       xlhtml  [-a] [-asc] [-csv] [-xml] [-bcNNNNNN] [-bi/path] [-c] [-dp] [-v] [-fw] [-m] [-nc] [-nh] [-tcNNNNNN] [-te] [-xc:N-N] [-xp:N] [-xr:N-
       N] FILE

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page explains the xlhtml program. The program xlhtml is used to convert Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet files into either  html	or
       tab  delimitted ASCII. The program can be interfaced with helper scripts for viewing email attachments. Most use of this program is through
       the helper scripts and one would probably rarely resort to using the commandline interface.

OPTIONS

       -a     aggressively optimize html by removing </TR> </TD> or VALIGN="bottom". Some older browsers may not display properly in this mode.

       -asc   Ascii out of -dp and extraction data (-xc, -xp, -xr)

       -csv   Output in Comma Separated Values of -dp and extraction data (-xc, -xp, -xr)

       -xml   Output in XML of -dp and extraction data (-xc, -xp, -xr)

       -bc    Override the background color. e.g. -bc808080	for gray

       -bi    Use background image. e.g. -bi/home/httpd/icon/tar.gif

       -c     Centers the tables horizontally

       -dp    Dump page count and max columns and rows per page

       -v     Prints program version

       -fw    suppress formula warnings about accuracy

       -m     No encoding for multibyte

       -nc    tells it not to colorize the output.

       -nh    Suppress header and body tags in html output

       -tc    Override the text color. e.g. -tcFF0000	  for red

       -te    Trims empty rows & columns at the edges of a worksheet

       -xc    Columns (separated by a dash) for extraction (zero based)

       -xp    Page for extraction (zero based), one page only

       -xr    Rows (separated by a dash) to be extracted (zero based)

       An example of the extraction command line is: xlhtml -fw -asc -xp:0 -xr:2-6 -xc:0-1 Test.xls

       The extraction output is: Formatted output of cells by column left to right, columns separated by a tab, end of row is: 0x0A, end of  file:
