How do I get a specific value from an XML file
-
Hi all, as part of my Linux build script for my SBC boards I need to download a very small XML file and parse some data, the download I achieve using wget I show a sample file below
What I need is the url for debarm, as this is all being done in a bash script I can't use c#, anyone here know of a way to achieve this in Linux ? many thanks for reading

As long as you know that the XML is on one line grep and sed can do the job. Assuming that the XML is in a file name data.xml:
grep "
Things are a bit more complicated if the XML is broken up over several lines. I'm not aware of an XML shell parser, though maybe something from python or perl might do the trick.

Ignore previous. The better way to do this is with xmllint:
[k5054@localhost]$ xmllint --xpath "string(//debarm/@url)" data.xml
