Assuming that you get the above diagnostic when running the script vgersh99 suggested:
Code:
awk -F'"' '{$(NF-3)=$(NF-1)}1' OFS='"' myFile

it is telling us that line number 2 in your input file (the one named web.xml) does not contain any double-quote (") characters. And, since the sample input that you showed us had four pairs of double-quotes on every input line, it wasn't prepared to handle input in a different format.

If you can't be bothered to accurately describe the format of the input data your script will be processing, we have to assume that you will be able to modify any suggestions provided to weed out (or otherwise process) lines in your input file(s) that do not match the format of the data you said you wanted to process.

XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement(3pm)

NAME
XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement - Represent A Non-Trivial RSS Element SYNOPSIS
us XML::RS::LibXML::MagicElement; my $xml = XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement->new( content => $textContent, attributes => @attributes ); DESCRIPTION
This module is a handy object that allows users to access non-trivial RSS elements in XML::RSS style. For example, suppose you have an RSS feed with an element like the following: <channel> <title>Example</title> <tag attr1="foo" attr2="bar">baz</tag> ... </channel> While it is simple to access the title element like this: $rss->{channel}->{title}; It was slightly non-trivial for the second tag. With this module, <tag> is parsed as a XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement object and then you can access all the elements like so: $rss->{channel}->{tag}; # "baz" $rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr1}; # "foo" $rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr2}; # "bar" METHODS
new Create a new MagicElement object. attributes Returns the list of attributes associated with this element toString Returns the string representation of this object. By default we use the "text content" of the found tag, but for XML::RSS compatibility, we use the concatenation of the attributes if no content is found. AUTHOR
