Thanks for sharing, Optimus. Good that you found a solution.

Some remarks:
The shebang (#!) should be in the first two positions of the script, there should not be a space in front of it, nor an empty line above it..

The quoting in the echo statement is not right (for example the variable $line is unquoted), it should be:

Code:

echo "<typ:RequestKey NameType=\"RIC\" Name=\"$line\" Service=\"DDA\"/>"

or for example:

Code:

printf '<typ:RequestKey NameType="RIC" Name="%s" Service="DDA"/>\n' "$line"

or

Code:

cat << EOF
<typ:RequestKey NameType="RIC" Name="$line" Service="DDA"/>
EOF

The second EOF should be at the first position of the line.


instead of redirecting the echo statement and repeatedly appending to a file, you could also redirect the output of the loop. So it becomes:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/bash
while read line
do
  # echo "Generating xml tag is :<typ:RequestKey NameType="RIC" Name="A1" Service="DDA"/>"
  echo "<typ:RequestKey NameType=\"RIC\" Name=\"$line\" Service=\"DDA\"/>"
done < /tmp/xmllist > /tmp/xmlfile
