converting specific XML file to CSV
Hi,

i would convert the following XML file :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<files xmlns="http://www.lotus.com/dxl/console">
 <filedata notesversion="6" odsversion="43" logged="yes" backup="no" id="C12577E6:004B0DA3" iid="C12577E6:004B0DA8" link="1" dboptions="0,524288,0,0">
  <replica id="C12577E6:004B0DA3" flags="64" count="1">
   <cutoff interval="90">20100622T102416,65+02</cutoff>
  </replica>
  <path>/base/base01/appli/appli-01/natachat/postetravail.nsf</path>
  <name>postetravail.nsf</name>
  <title>Poste de Travail</title>
  <template></template>
  <inheritedtemplate>m_natachat_postetrav_17-3-0</inheritedtemplate>
  <category>toto</category>
  <size current="8650752" max="0" usage="0"/>
  <quota limit="0" warning="0" />
  <created>20101125T143946,91+01</created>
  <lastfixup>20101125T145142,38+01</lastfixup>
  <unread marks="yes" replicate="never"/>
 </filedata>
 <filedata

and so on

so every field between double quote contained in a XML statement
as in :
Code:
<size current="8650752" max="0" usage="0"/>

and the complete data contained in the XML statement as:
Code:
<name>postetravail.nsf</name>

i tried to figure all necessary data in bold

all these fields separated by #

and end of line after each </filedata> paragraph

and for sure without the header xml version.....

i began to try with this kind of shell :
Code:
sed -n '/^<filedata notesversion/h;{/}/!={H;g;s/\n/;/;s/\t//gp;d}'

but without success

if somebody can help me ?

i continue to search

thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I understood what you need but if it's all data between " try this:
Code:
$ awk -vRS=\=\" -F\" 'NR>4{print $1}' ORS="#" file
6#43#yes#no#C12577E6:004B0DA3#C12577E6:004B0DA8#1#0,524288,0,0#C12577E6:004B0DA3#64#1#90#8650752#0#0#0#0#yes#never#

Code:
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' input >output

Code:
# echo "<title>Poste de Travail</title>"
<title>Poste de Travail</title>
# echo "<title>Poste de Travail</title>" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'
Poste de Travail

But that code will remove all mark like <.*> (whatever .* could be)
If you want to remove only "title" mark
then
Code:
sed 's/<[^>]*title>//g' input >output

Thanks ,

i doesn't work exactly as i expect , let's me resume :

the input file is :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<files xmlns="http://www.lotus.com/dxl/console">

 <filedata notesversion="8" odsversion="51" logged="yes" >

  <cutoff interval="90">20100811T010253,56+02</cutoff>

  <path>/base/base01/mail/mail-20/valerie_deshuissard.nsf</path>

  </filedata>

 <filedata notesversion="8" odsversion="51" logged="yes" >

    <cutoff interval="90">20100811T010231,02+02</cutoff>

    <path>/base/base01/mail/mail-20/laurent_abello.nsf</path>

   </filedata>

and i expect exactly on output:
Code:
first line :
8#51#yes#90#20100811T010253,56+02#/base/base01/mail/mail-20/valerie_deshuissard.nsf#

second line:
8#51#yes#90#20100811T010231,02+02#/base/base01/mail/mail-20/laurent_abello.nsf#

etc.

so
i don't want to keep the header :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<files xmlns="http://www.lotus.com/dxl/console">

and
i want to keep on one line all data extracted between <filedata
and
Code:
</filedata>

i know this is quite complicated but i'm too basic shell writer to succeed.


thanks again to help me
regards
Christian
