Grepping a word from a .xml file
Hi
I have a xml file
vi lpower.xml
Code:
<head = power_health>

Now, I need to grep "power_health" alone from that file using shell..
Please help

Is this what you are looking for?
Code:
$ cat test.xml
<head = power_health>
$ grep -o power_health test.xml
power_health

I believe there would be more chances to cut the field after "=" with different name.

I would suggest,

Code:
echo "<head = power_health>
<head = power>
<head = test>" | sed -n 's/<head = \(.*\)>/\1/p'

Yes, I misinterpreted what was being asked.
Code:
$ sed -n 's/<head = \([^>]*\)>/\1/p' test.xml
power_health

It was that word "grepping"! Smilie
