I have many XML files as below where i would like to replace a string with a new string. I cannot seem to get the sed command to work on the xml files. Forcepoint DLP Dashboard - LongTerm Activity for those with Long-Term Exceptions Timeframe -48h@h now

The XML files have many combinations like index=restricted_security sourcetype=someother value, index=someindex sourcetype=forcepoint etc but they don't need to be replaced. I have tried many patterns like below with many combinations of sed but it does not seem to work sed 's/index=restricted_security\s\nsourcetype=forcepoint/index=restricted_security sourcetype=forcepoint/g' Can someone please point out how to get this to replace?

I am using Linux, and I want to use sed to delete a forward slash (/) between 2 tags. From this: input.xml...

/text
/text2
/text

...to this: output.xml:

text
text2
text

Tested a lot of codes without success, for example:

sed s'//s|^\.{1,2}/||' fileout

can you help?

I have file config.xml:

App title
    Dummy dummy text.

I'd like to change value of `` element. I've tried following:

xmlstarlet edit -L -u "/_:widget/name" -v "NEW_NAME" config.xml

and

xmlstarlet edit -L -u "//name" -v "NEW_NAME" config.xml

But it hasn't changed the App title value.

I have an xml file. I am trying to remove only the blank lines from a range of lines. In this example I want to check lines 55-57 and remove any blank lines. This needs to be done in a shell script over multiple files that are all xml. This is a RHEL 7 system. I tried using sed, but wasn't able to strip the empty lines out. I have written statements that get the appropriate line numbers, they are stored as vars in the shell script (start_line, finish_line) Example File: 1. 2. 3. . . . 55. 56. 57. 58. What can I do to remove the blank lines only from range 55-57?

I'm able to add a new node with a custom fixed value to my XML file in this way, with xmlstarlet : xmlstarlet ed --subnode "/legge190/data/lotto" --type elem -n newsubnode \ -v "myvalue" But how to add a unique identifier? If I try to add a unique identifier using generate-id(.) xmlstarlet ed --subnode "/legge190/data/lotto" --type elem -n newsubnode \ -v "generate-id(.)" I do not have an id value, but the generate-id(.) string. Thank you

I have an xml file with content following this format: 000000 FFFFFF The information within the tags are hex colors (many different colors), but they need to begin with a pound sign (#) to work in a particular application, ie: #000000 #FFFFFF How can I use sed to append the pound symbol in this file? Using sed 4.8 BTW, thanks!

I want create simple xml file using bash script ( not with dom ) but when I set value in the line then **echo** print the $lorem word and not the val **lorem=LOL** echo '$lorem' >> $MY_XML I also try this echo '\$lorem' >> $MY_XML echo '"$lorem"' >> $MY_XML echo '\"$lorem\"' >> $MY_XML but all these print the exactly the line and not the val please advice how to print the val $lorem ? as the following example LOL

I am trying to parse a txt file containing xml "messages"in linux, something like this

xyz     xyz     xyz     xyz   and so on

The code will read file, extract each section from

till

and put each section into a separate file. My code for this is as below

input_file="input_file.txt"

# Extracting Document parts
sed -n '//p' "$input_file" > temp_output.txt

# Splitting into Different Files
csplit -f output -b %d.txt -z temp_output.txt '//' '{*}'

# Cleaning up temporary files
rm temp_output.txt

However, this code is extracting several xml messages into one file, particularly the ones with no line break. Could someone suggest what can be rectified in the above code?

I'm trying to find when certain rows are missing in a file. See below. In each record, there is an ItemNumber, MessageNumber, NewItemNumber, and ConfirmedQty field. Is there a way to find ItemNumber where NewItemNumber is missing, as in the last record here? 30353 000 30353 1 30354 000 30354 1 30391 000 30391 1 71067 000 71067 1 ** 29424 035 0 **

the problem is that I cannot put the complete command on a line with SED, I had already done it but with those file it does not work: my exemple : Documents/time/text1 //2X slash + 2 words to remove !! Commun/text2 //1X slash to remove + 1 words to remove Current/text3 //1X slash to remove + 1 words to remove Why does this code not work in line ?

sed 's/Documents//g' | sed 's/time//g' | sed 's/Commun//g' | sed 's/Current//g' | sed 's/Current//g' | sed '//s|/||' | sed '//s|/||' tracklist.txt > newtracklist.txt

I have a number of xml files. I need to rename each based on the specific tag (say tag1="alpha") inside the xml. I have figured out how to rename the file based on _single_ occurance of the specific tag.

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.xml' -exec /rename.sh {} \;

#!/bin/bash

tag1=$(sed 's/.*tag1="\([^"]*\).*/\1/; q' "$1")
mv -v "$1" "$tag1.xml"

The problem: some files have multiple tag1 tags, e.g. tag1="alpha" tag1="beta" tag1="omega". With these files I need to also create a copies of the same file, but with the other names, beta.xml, omega.xml. I tried to cat with positional parameters but that didn't work (I am a beginner). **file structure example:**
