which I was using awk to parse <toponymName> of Palos Verdes, but that's 2 words, which is 2 fields, so I am trying to update my code to use xmlstarlet, so far here's what I have:
error in arguments: no -t or --template options found
I'm not clear what the role of a template is, is this some class I have to call up, does it already exist, or do you have to make one for each style of xml file?
---------- Post updated at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous update was at 11:47 AM ----------
Here's some examples for xmlstarlet. The -t option is mandatory for this, though it doesn't need a file, apparently the 'sel' options and the like are specifying a template themselves.
I moved the -m tag to match my "city" term, still no joy. I'm still trying to understand the context of when you do/don't need a template, and if there already existing "classes" of templates I can call up?
My understanding of this is limited as well, but as I get it so far, the options you're specifying are the template. You can also give it a template stored in a file.
1. sel - that's what you want if you want to query something from your xml file
2. -t - the template is that you specify something you want to match, which is why you have -m next
3. -m - that's the match part, what you want to match, or try to find. In order to match something, you have to know something about the structure of your xml file, to tell xmlstarlet where to go looking. In my case, it had to start looking in the element <geoname>, since that's where the child element I want lives. You can find out your structure by running xmlstarlet el xmlfile, that will tell you the element structure without the gobblygook.
4. -v - this is what you're actually searching for, in my case what's in the child element <toponymName>
5. file - your source xml file
Feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong, just trying to learn and then simplify it for the next guy
