http://unix.stackexchange.com – Below I have an example of an Adobe XML swidtag used to track inventory. I need to parse out relevant information using bash and output that to a new text file. FYI I'm using terminal on a mac. For example I would like to parse the following swid:entitlement_required_indicator swid:product_title swid:product_version swid:name swid:numeric swid:major swid:minor swid:build swid:review I have tried using this, but it will not let me read the namespace xmllint --xpath '//swid:product_version/swid:name/text()' nameoffile.xml Sample tag file for Creative Suite 5 The following sample is for Ad (HowTos)

I am looking to parse a text file output and set variables based on what is cropped from the parsing.

My end goal is to read some weather information from a text or xml file, extract the temperature and write it on an image file using convert. I am trying to take it one step at a time learn a little and improve on my bash scrip.

I get daily a text file with ip:port, one per line, example:

11.22.33.44:80 22.33.44.55:8080 33.44.55.66:7777

I would like to parse the first ip and port in two different variables, then write them into another file, wait exceution of a program that use these variables, loop this cycle to pass all the ip:port to the file and execute program.

How can I do that?

thank you
