Try something like...
Code:
$ cat data.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?><message><cdr version="1.0"><appid>testbed</appid><threadid>6</threadid><origin>node1</origin><date>20071009</date><time>12:45:36</time><chdate>20071009</chdate><chtime>12:45:43</chtime><status>201</status><type>103</type><calling>644</calling><cparty>xxxxxxx</cparty><accnum>xxxxxx</accnum><debirate1>0.0</debirate1><cos>-1</cos><strtbal>0.0</strtbal><freesms>0</freesms><tuc>0</tuc><fandftype></fandftype></cdr></message>
$ cat transform.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select=".//message/cdr">
      appid = <xsl:value-of select=".//appid"/>
      status = <xsl:value-of select=".//status"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
$ xsltproc transform.xsl data.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>

      appid = testbed
      status = 201
$

Parse a string in XML file using shell script
Hi Ygor,

Thanks! I tried the solution that you've mentioned but I got the folowing error below. Maybe I can't use it. Do you know any other solution? Thanks again for the help!

bash: xsltproc: command not found

Did you check for xsltproc in /usr/bin/xsltproc ?

Parse a string in XML file using shell script
Hi Matrixmadhan,

Yes, it does not exist. Do you know other way how I can do it without using xlstproc because I'm not familiar with it. I really need to know how I can parse string from XML file which is around 7MB in size. I need to get values between <date> </date>, <time> </time> and <status> </status>. Thanks in advance!
