echo exact xml tag from an exact file
Im stumped on this one. Id like to echo into a .txt file all names for an xml feed in a huge folder. Can that be done?? Id need to echo <name>This name</name> in client.xml files.

Code:
$path="/mnt/windows/path"

echo 'recording names'

cd "$path"
for names in $path

than Im stuck on where to go and what would be best??

I'm not sure what is your requirement, but if you are looking for a way to extract the data from your XML name tag, then here is how you do it:-

Code:
sed 's:^<name>\(.*\)</name>$:\1:' client.xml

by any chance can you explain what is going on so I can better understand the process?

Edit:
Id like to undertstand this because I would like to extend something else Ive been working on and could use this as a variable for something else.
