Sed, how replace specific symbols between two patterns
I have a big xmltv file with many lines like:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <tv>
        <channel id="channel 1 +3HD">
            <display-name lang="it">channel +3HD</display-name>
            <icon src="http://mywebsite.com/dsgbnjfdc65657/channel +3HD.png" />
        </channel>
        <channel id="channel 4 HD">
            <display-name lang="it">channel 4 HD</display-name>
            <icon src="http://mywebsite.com/dsgbnjfdc65657/channel 4 HD.png" />
        </channel>
        <channel id="channel 8 ?? HD">
            <display-name lang="it">channel 8 ?? HD</display-name>
            <icon src="http://mywebsite.com/dsgbnjfdc65657/channel 8 ?? HD.png" />
        </channel>
    </tv>

I don't know why my webserver reject some names of png files, so I am trying to rename it.
I am trying to use the command sed but I am really bad about.
I want replace the spaces, the symbol +, the symbol ? and others with underscore _
I tought to use like a pattern the strings dsgbnjfdc65657/ and .png and modify the spaces, the symbol + and ? between, but I had back only errors...


I tried also with xmlstarlet to replace "spaces" with "_" but also I had only errors

Code:
mlstarlet ed -L -u '//icon/@src=" "' -v _ tv.xml

I really prefer if I can use sed

Can someone help me?

tcl_setstdchannel

Tcl_GetStdChannel(3)					      Tcl Library Procedures					      Tcl_GetStdChannel(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tcl_GetStdChannel, Tcl_SetStdChannel - procedures for retrieving and replacing the standard channels

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       Tcl_Channel
       Tcl_GetStdChannel(type)

       Tcl_SetStdChannel(channel, type)

ARGUMENTS

       int	     type      (in)	 The  identifier for the standard channel to retrieve or modify.  Must be one of TCL_STDIN, TCL_STDOUT, or
					 TCL_STDERR.

       Tcl_Channel   channel   (in)	 The channel to use as the new value for the specified standard channel.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Tcl defines three special channels that are used by various I/O related commands if no other channels are specified.   The  standard  input
       channel	has  a	channel name of stdin and is used by read and gets.  The standard output channel is named stdout and is used by puts.  The
       standard error channel is named stderr and is used for reporting errors.  In addition, the standard channels are  inherited  by	any  child
       processes created using exec or open in the absence of any other redirections.

       The  standard  channels	are  actually  aliases	for  other normal channels.  The current channel associated with a standard channel can be
       retrieved by calling Tcl_GetStdChannel with one of TCL_STDIN, TCL_STDOUT, or TCL_STDERR as the type.  The return  value	will  be  a  valid
       channel, or NULL.

       A  new channel can be set for the standard channel specified by type by calling Tcl_SetStdChannel with a new channel or NULL in the channel
       argument.  If the specified channel is closed by a later call to Tcl_Close, then the corresponding standard channel will  automatically	be
       set to NULL.

       If  Tcl_GetStdChannel  is called before Tcl_SetStdChannel, Tcl will construct a new channel to wrap the appropriate platform-specific stan-
       dard file handle.  If Tcl_SetStdChannel is called before Tcl_GetStdChannel, then the default channel will not be created.

       If one of the standard channels is set to NULL, either by calling Tcl_SetStdChannel with a NULL channel argument, or by	calling  Tcl_Close
       on  the	channel,  then	the next call to Tcl_CreateChannel will automatically set the standard channel with the newly created channel.	If
       more than one standard channel is NULL, then the standard channels will be assigned starting with standard input, followed by standard out-
       put, with standard error being last.

       See Tcl_StandardChannels for a general treatise about standard channels and the behaviour of the Tcl library with regard to them.
