how to increase the integer in a xml file
Hi
Need a Script. Problem is I want to increase the integer in a xml file

example

the xml file is

<name>
<school> Public School
<label>01
</label>
</school>
</name

so when every time when it gets <label> it will increase the value 01 to 02 and store the total increased valued file to a new xml file

Hi.

My first thought is...

Code:
awk -F">" '/^<label/ { print $1 ">" ++$2 }' your_file.xml > your_new.xml

(edited to add ] to closing code section!)

You don't have to... I just showed you Smilie

If you want to learn it, the internet is awash with stuff on AWK, and you can look at the man page.
