Generating report with clauses in a string that is searched
Hi I recently joined a project where I have been asked to generate a report using shell script accessing UNIX box.
I have no idea on how to do it as I am a beginner and learning shell scripts.

Suppose I have a XML:
Code:
<XYZRequest>
<effectiveDate>someDate</effectiveDate>
<expiryDate>someDate</expiryDate>
<reason>blahblah</reason>.....</XYZRequest>

This XML will be in one of the logs. I need to search for the element XYZ in logs and then check inside the XML for effectiveDate in the past and expiryDate as currentDate and if the condition succeeds check for the response <XYZResponse> in the logs and check if there is any error inside the elements say for example <XYZResponse><Solution>Error</Solution></XYZResponse>.

If there is any entry in logs with Error, generate a report with the details if not generate a report saying no issues. Can someone pls help me.Smilie
