Replacing a piece of XML with awk

This script searches for an initial tag and and closing one and replaces the content.

# !/bin/bash
awk ‘
BEGIN {pr = 1;one = 0}
/<Name>OPENING<\/Name>/ {pr = 0;}
{ if (pr) print }
{ if (!pr && !one) {print (“\t\t <Name>OPENING</Name> \n \t\t\t <Value>false</Value> \n \t\t<Type>STOPHERE</Type> \n ” ); one =1 ;}}
/<Type>STOPHERE<\/Type>/ {pr = 1;}
‘< $1

Not the most elegant solution but lends itself to multiple replacements.

 

find . | grep file.xml | xargs -I {J} -n 1 bash -c ‘ ./aw.sh {J} > {J}.new ; mv -f {J}.new {J}  ‘

nJoy 😉
