sed command for copying the contents of other file replacing it another file on specifc pattern
We have 2 file XML files - FILE1.XML and FILE2.xml - we need copy the contents of FILE1.XML and replace in FILE2.xml pattern "<assignedAttributeList></assignedAttributeList>"
FILE1.XML
1. <itemList>
2. <item type="Manufactured">
3. <resourceCode>431048</resourceCode>
4. <assignedAttributeList></assignedAttributeList>
5. </item>
6. <item type="Manufactured">
7. <resourceCode>431079</resourceCode>
8. <assignedAttributeList></assignedAttributeList>
9. </item>
10. </itemList>
FILE2.XML
<assignedAttributeList>
<assignedAttribute>
<attributeCode>Dia</attributeCode>
<attributeValueCode>18"</attributeValueCode>
</assignedAttribute>
<assignedAttribute>
<attributeCode>Base</attributeCode>
<attributeValueCode>22V50FM1</attributeValueCode>
</assignedAttribute>
<assignedAttributeList>
Final FILE1.XML should be like this
------------------------------------
1. <itemList>
2. <item type="Manufactured">
3. <resourceCode>431048</resourceCode>
4. <assignedAttributeList></assignedAttributeList>
5. </item>
6. <item type="Manufactured">
7. <resourceCode>431079</resourceCode>
8. <assignedAttributeList>
<assignedAttribute>
<attributeCode>Dia</attributeCode>
<attributeValueCode>18"</attributeValueCode>
</assignedAttribute>
<assignedAttribute>
<attributeCode>Base</attributeCode>
<attributeValueCode>22V50FM1</attributeValueCode>
</assignedAttribute>
<assignedAttributeList>
9. </item>
10. </itemList>
