The code worked perfectly. However now i have a new requirement . the value of a particular tag is dynamic . How do i incorporate pattern matchin for a variable in the same code.

my new xml is
Code:
<ns:Body>
<ns:result>
<class classname="date">
<Date Month="June"  Day="Monday:/>
</class>
<class classname="time">
<time minutes="30" seconds="12"/>
</class>
</ns:result>
</ns:Body>

Here the value June is obtained in the following way
Code:
abc="month"
var=x_$abc

the lookup file has entry
Code:
x_month June July August
y_month June august
Day    Monday Tuesday Wednesday

The value if var needs to be used to match against the config file. How do i use the shell variable in awk in this case.

vmware2libvirt

VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1)					  System Administration Utilities					VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1)

NAME

       vmware2libvirt - vmware vmx to libvirt xml converter

SYNOPSIS

       vmware2libvirt [-q] -f FILE

DESCRIPTION

       This program outputs a libvirt xml file based on an existing vmware vmx file

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -q, --qemu
	      use qemu instead of kvm

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	      vmware vmx file to convert

USAGE

       To start using a pre-existing vmware image with libvirt, you simply copy the vmware .vmx file and .vmdk file to a new directory. Then do:

	 vmware2libvirt -f ./file.vmx > file.xml
	 virsh -c qemu:///system define file.xml

       At this point, your vmware image should be available to libvirt.

CAVEATS

       vmware2libvirt currently will use the first scsi disk if found, otherwise the first ide disk. It will also use the first ethernet interface
       found.

SEE ALSO

	virsh(1), kvm(1), qemu(1)
