Question Getting error while including values in xml tags using shell script
Hi All,

Please find the code below where I want to add the variable value in between the XML tags. I am taking one string and my goal is to put them between the xml tags. Ex : in between <name> , <lname>

Kindly suggest a correction because while executing this script I am getting and output as : ${ary[0]} rather than the input variable.


Code:
str="rajneesh_kumar"
IFS=_
ary=($str)
for key in "${!ary[@]}"; do echo "$key ${ary[$key]}";
cat > "name.xml" <<- "EOF"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" standaalone="yes"?>
<rajneeshX xmlns="http://rajneesh.com">
<name> ${ary[0]}</name>
<lname> ${ary[1]}</lname>

</<rajneeshX >

Please use code tags...
Try these alterations.

cat > "name.xml" << EOF

</rajneeshX>

And finally end with...

EOF

That is all I can see at the moment...

Well here you go...
(I also missed the "done" statement on my first post.)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
str="rajneesh_kumar"
IFS=_
ary=($str)
for key in "${!ary[@]}"; do echo "$key ${ary[$key]}";done
cat > "name.xml" << EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rajneeshX xmlns="http://rajneesh.com">
<name>${ary[0]}</name>
<lname>${ary[1]}</lname>
</rajneeshX>
EOF
cat name.xml

results on MBP, OSX 10.7.5, default bas terminal.

Hi, Can you suggest me how i can convert array string into upper case?
# 6  
Old 08-16-2016
That highly depends on the OS and shell versions that you are using. In recent shells (like bash and ksh), you can do it immediately using "parameter expansion". If that's not the case, your OS may offer various tools like tr, sed, awk which can do this for you (with somewhat more effort / resource consumption).
