I'm trying to extract the values for the 'src' and 'alt' tags within an xml file. In the files that I'm searching, the tags are always enclosed within an 'img' tag. Typically:
<img src="diwiz01.gif" width="576" height="254" alt="Out-of-process and In-process COM Objects"><bookmark name="f003"/></img>
I grep for 'img' and pipe to the following perl code that successfully extracts the required data:
However, the xml source occasionally contains the 'src' and 'alt' tags in a different order within the 'img' tag. For example:
<img width="470" height="321" alt="A Remote COM Object" src="dicwiz02.gif"><bookmark name="f004"/></img>
Consequently, the above code doesn't work.
The basis of the code was originally used for a different problem and I didn't write it. I've modified it in an attempt to satisfy this problem. Unfortunately, although I know the basics of sed and awk (but hardly any perl), I'm not a programmer and I'm struggling a bit.
There might be other more clever solutions, but this one works.

Tsunami xml # cat xml

<img src="diwiz01.gif" width="576" height="254" alt="Out-of-process and In-process COM Objects"><bookmark name="f003"/></img>
Tsunami xml # perl -ne 'print "$1 $2\n" if /<img.*?(?:src|alt)=\"(.*?)\".*?(?:alt|src)=\"(.*?)\".*?<\/img>/;' xml

Hi Forum.
I have an XML file with the following requirement to move the <AdditionalAccountHolders> tag and its content right after the <accountHolderName> tag within the same file but I'm not sure how to accomplish this through a Unix script.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
