How can i use sed to replace a keyword in an xml file?
Hello Unix gurus!
I'm a unix newbie. Can I use sed to replace a keyword in an xml file and convert this keyword with an output of a unix cat command?
for example: <test>keyword</test>
and temp.txt = hello!
I would like to replace "keyword" with the output of "cat temp.txt".
I think it is possible using sed. Please help!
l'll appreciate the help bigtime! TIA!
