how to extract part of xml line via awk?
Hi,

I like to set a variable "name" automatically by reading an xml file. My code looks like this:
Code:
set name = `awk '/<generationTime>/,/<\/generationTime>/ p' $xml_name`

the "name" is thus set to
Code:
<generationTime>2004-12-01T08:23:50.000000</generationTime>

How can I separate this line, that the name will be set to: 20041201 ?


Thanks for any help!
