No, I don't. I know how i find the value and how to change this, but
it's change only this value. Everything else from file disappear.
cat $1 | while read EPI
do
echo $EPI | sed -n 's:.*<EpiReference>\(.*\)</EpiReference>.*:\1:p' |awk '{ gsub (" ", "", $0); print}'
done


Sorry, I'm stupid and newbie for the Unix coding Smilie

Try this (quick and dirty):
Code:
awk '
match ($0, /<EpiReference>[^<]*<\/EpiReference>/)       {T1 = T2 = substr ($0, RSTART+14, RLENGTH-29)
                                                         gsub (" ", "", T1)
                                                         sub (T2, T1) 
                                                        }

                                                        }

Thanks, but unfortunately this did not work. The output is the same than input. Punctuation is still there Smilie

Not for me. Before
Code:
<EpiReference>1 59760</EpiReference>

After
Code:
<EpiReference>159760</EpiReference>

And, punctuation was not mentioned in post#1 when describing the problem.

Or how about the other way around: give us us an example of your expected input and the result. Rudi's answer was based on your code, not on what you want your code to to do.
