Do syntax is correct ?
I tried with sed command to create a space between namespace from the XML file. I used this syntax. Can someone tell me is this syntax is vaild?

Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed  -e 's/<\/^.*><^.:Errort>/<\/^.*> <^.:Errort>/g' test > test2

I dint find any changes or any space being created between these namespace.

Maybe with something like this:
Code:
sed 's/><^.:Errort>/> <^.:Errort>/g' test > test2

Result is the same, Space is not getting created when i used

Code:
<^.:Errort>

But space will get created when i used the exact expression , something like this.

Code:
<ns1:Errot>

But this expression ns1 changes in many of the scenarios, so instead of this I need to use Regex. Can you get me the exact regex that needs to be used.

Try:
Code:
sed 's/><[^>]*:Errort>/> <^.:Errort>/g' test > test2

This works for me:
Code:
sed 's/\(<\/[^>]*>\)\(<[^:]*:\)/\1 \2/g' test > test2

Thanks for your precious input, both of your syntax worked very well.

Mark

Can you explain me the syntax, since your syntax worked for both opening and closing namespace.

Mark,

Your syntax has created one space between all the namespaces, but indeed i just required particularly for this namespace <ns1:Errort> </ns1:Errort>

I took that to mean that you wanted a space between all namespaces. So I'm not quite clear on what you're asking for exactly.

Here are some more options:
Code:
sed 's/\(<\/[^>]*>\)\(<[^:]*:Errort\)/\1 \2/g' test > test2
sed 's/\(<\/[^>]*>\)\(<ns[0-9]*:Errort\)/\1 \2/g' test > test2
sed 's/\(<\/[^>]*>\)\(<ns1:Errort\)/\1 \2/g' test > test2

Regards,
Mark.
