i have to merge all 3 files at the end into a flat file. so the final basic record count should go back to 82 when merged back together.

I have to merge the three back into 1 flat file and with merging it back the count of total records should go back to the original number

The cat utility will not strip out the extra headers and trailers and it will not recompute the <Basic-Record-Count> tag data.

Why did you want to add headers and trailers into the split files if all you were going to do was to put the split files back into a single XML file?

it cuts the run time down on the actual xml file thats what the split was for so once it all runs it comes back together

when I use the
Code:
cat

command it brings only one pair of the header, signature and trailer, it's just giving me back the wrong total.

That can't be right. Don't the individual files have their own headers/signature and trailer?

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment So, 27 messages into this thread, you're now telling us that you need two scripts: one to split a single XML file into multiple XML files, an another one to merge two or more XML files into a single XML file???

Worse than that, you have stripped out the entire description of the XML format these script are supposed to process and you have stripped out the sample code you provided on which those of us trying to help you based our code.

Anyone trying to read this (very lengthy) thread now has no way to figure out what is going on. This makes this thread useless to other forum readers trying to learn from the work we're doing for you.


Under these conditions, I no longer have any reason to continue participating in this discussion.

I forgot about the merge and that was a over look. I thought I was done and forgot about that so I am sorry for now just mentioning that. I had done that because there was information from a message I recieved that I shouldn't have displayed and didn't want it public.
Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment For threads in these forums to be useful to the general public, a clear description of the problem to be solved, including the formats of input and output files must be given. Samples of the desired input and output are required, and if it isn't obvious from the sample data, a description of the algorithms used to transform the input to the output is also required.

When you first posted your sample data, it contained company private names, addresses, phone numbers, and employee IDs of some of your company's employees and names, phone numbers, addresses, and customer IDs for some of your customers. A moderator spent about an hour expunging private data from that post for you and sent a private message suggesting that you be careful when posting sample data in the future. We hadn't noticed that you had gone back and removed the data (and all descriptions of the data format and all of the sample code that had been used to prepare code to meet your original problem.

Please restore enough of the deleted data and code to make the purpose of this thread clear! If that hasn't happened within 24 hours, this thread will be closed and you will be limited to read-only access to the forums for two weeks.

Sincerely,
Don Cragun

Mod Comment As has been said before, removing all visible statements describing what you wanted to be done, removing all descriptions of the desired input file format, and the output file format have made this thread useless.

The submitter was given 24 hours to restore enough of the history that were removed but chose not to restore any of the removed text.

The thread is now closed and the submitter has been placed on read-only status for about two weeks.

Before starting any new threads, please remember that the volunteers who respond to requests posted on The UNIX & Linux Forums are trying to help you and hundreds of other members learn how to effectively use the tools available on UNIX and Linux systems to perform tasks. The history provided in these threads of discussion help other users to learn how to use these tools to perform similar tasks.
