Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanks a lot....

I will try with the awk code given but, as a newbee i am not very sure what the code does. If you can explain me in brief that helps me a lot.

A little change in the requirement. The input and output are given as below. I would be gr8 if anyone can spare some time to help me on this. A unix script(.ksh or .sh) to parse the input xml file and generate an output file in the format as given below.

Input File:

<Transaction 1>
<first>a</first>
<second>b</second>
</Transaction1>
<Transaction 2>
<first>c</first>
<second>d</second>
</Transaction2>

The output should be in a new file in 2 seperate lines.

Output:
a,b
c,d

The sample XML presented is not valid XML. XML cannot include a free-standing "&", it has to be written as "&amp;".

With this correction in place the following XSL stylesheet will produce the desired output.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="gDSNError">
<xsl:value-of select="errorCode"/> <xsl:value-of select="errorDescription"/> <xsl:value-of select="errorDateTime"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
