Re: Replace text in XML file

The only (potential) issue I can see using this approach is that if you are
not using XML tooling then it becomes possible to insert text into the tags
that would not be allowed by a parser.

I mention this because I have done similar things in the past but got
bitten on at least one occasion.

Perfect! This works like a champ:
sed 's|<XML_Tag />|<XML_Tag>value_here</XML_Tag>|' sed_test > sed_test_out


I heard back from IBM, and a new PTF (SI68235) is required to fix a known
issue with the RPG ON-EXIT command.


Thanks guy!

This is what sed is meant for.

Subject: Replace text in XML file

I have an XML IFS file < 1 MB in size. I need to replace an empty tag.
This is within an existing RPG pgm, so I figured it would be simple enough
to use the IFS API's to read the file, manipulate the text and write it
back out. Well I managed to crash the compiler (seriously.. dump spooled
files, WRKPRB entry, the works). While I wait on IBM support, I decided to
go looking for a better option. About all I've found is talk about
XML-INTO & XML-SAX to deserialize XML. That isn't really practical here,
since my input and output will both be IFS files.

Any suggestions?
