For others' benefit… After diving into Andrew Watt's "XPath Essentials" from 2002, seasoned with a bit of googling, here's the solution: xml.exe sel -B -t -m "//item" -v "title" -n -v "guid" -n -v "enclosure/@url" -n -n test.xml

Hello, I assume it can be done with XmlStarlet but it requires XPath kung-fu way above my head. I need to grab an RSS feed using wget, and then feed it to XmlStarlet to grab a few sibings from each item: wget -qO - https://feeds.acme.com/feed/rss.xml |xmlstarlet\xml.exe sel -t <magic here=""></magic> =========== rss/channel/item THIS rss/channel/item/title THIS rss/channel/item/guid rss/channel/item/guid/@isPermaLink rss/channel/item/description rss/channel/item/content:encoded THIS rss/channel/item/pubDate...

Just seach for xmlstarlet, e.g. https://github.com/dimitern/xmlstarlet https://github.com/fishjam/xmlstarlet

OK so where are those forks?
-
Hi Tomasz, there are already some forks of Github. I would say maintenance here is on a fairly low level at the moment. Feel free to fork on Github and proceed with your ideas! Best regards -- Dago

Move git repo to github/gilab or organize live mirror

Hello everyone. I have xml document with structure like this: <pts <table <rows <row p00="some_id" p01="some_1 value_1" <row p00="some_id_2" p01="some_2 value_2" <rows <table <pts I need to get value from attribute p01. I try this command: xmlstarlet sel -T -t -v "/pts/table/rows/row/@p01" file.xml. And get value i need, but all values split by whitespace like this: "some_1" "value_1" "some_2" "value_2" but i need it like this "some_1 value_1" "some_2 value_2".

For the xml you posted I would go with xmlstarlet sel --noblanks --text -t -m //item -v title -v description weewx_rss-xx.xml, but the RSS you linked looks a bit different, so it looks like just xmlstarlet sel --noblanks --text -t -v //item weewx_rss.xml would work.

Sridhar Krishnamurthy modified a comment on ticket #127
Thank you. it confirms my reasoning too. But the syntactical problem is aggravated if there are just two b elements. In this case the command line looks like xmlstarlet ed -P -S -d '/a/b[1]' -d '/a/b' test.xml | xmlstarlet format -s 4 - which is quite counter intuitive. I respect the designer's decision but would have preferred it otherwise as in the case where the command line is itself generated through scripts.

Hi Sridhar, the modifies are processed in order and are especially not applied all-at-once to the originating tree. This means you first delete the first element (10) leaving two elements (20, 30), than you delete the second element from this result (30), so the remained is 20. If you want to delete the first two elements you can do so by xmlstarlet ed -P -S -d '/a/b[1]' -d '/a/b[1]' test.xml | xmlstarlet format -s 4 -

It is good to have namespace for xml, but specify namespace in xpath is troublesome. In xslt 2.0, one can specify default namespace for xpath, but libxml2 does not support xslt 2.0. In xmlstarlet, one can use --doc-namespace, and _ will refer to the default namespace, but it is still troublesome to write every element with prefix. This patch add a --ignore-default-namespace option, which work in xml select and xml edit. This option will remove default namespace in xml tree, so xpath without prefix...

Just a heads-up. The last release (xmlstarlet v1.6.6) I just pushed to https://pypi.org/project/xmlstarlet works quite nicely. I'm happy to say (after a lot of trial and error) I got the building of binary wheels for Python 3.6+ on Linux, MacOS, and Windows automated. P.S. Building on Windows proved quite challenging, I have to say. I got a MingGW64-based build to work using the master branch's mingw/GNUmakefile as a starting point, modified to use pre-built binaries of libxml2 / libxslt for x86_64...

Using XMLStarlet 1.6.1, what is the best practice to replace a substring in a value? For instance I'd like to modify an attribute's value: http://www.domain.com/cgi?param1=foo&param2={bar} in order to receive: http://www.domain.com/cgi?param2={bar} (A separate problem might be the "&" char of "&", at least it can be tricky in a cmd environment.) Is there a straightforward method like s/param1=foo&// to apply?

' being replaced by ' in the output xml. Any ideas why this is occuring Xmlstarlet works by reading in and parsing the XML data into a tree, in parsed form there is no distinction between ' and ' . and how I can avoid it from happening? Don't use Xmlstarlet.

Use - to indicate stdin, e.g., cat a.xml | xmlstarlet val --xsd b.xsd --err -

xmlstarlet val: Consistent message order

Workaround I'm using (inside a Dockerfile): mkdir -p /io cat > /io/input.xml xmlstarlet validate --xsd "$1" --err /io/input.xml

Ah, yes, that would explain why it's missing. In this case the way to go is to try to find a fix for the "impossible" one in libxslt... Another possibility (at least theoretically) would be to rewrite the xml ed subcommand to use XSLT. But that's quite a lot of work.

Thanks, Noam, for the detailed answer! It seems to me that there is indeed XSLT support for str:replace but the XPath support was removed 5 years ago because of a bug which seemed "impossible" to fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/commit/ae49d7a73b043bccb7631e7d9577bcaa0bbf8528 . Please can you confirm that this makes my code not possible to work at the moment? In this case the way to go is to try to find a fix for the "impossible" one in libxslt...

The EXSLT functions come from libxslt. The str:* functions are included: https://sourceforge.net/p/xmlstar/code/ci/master/tree/src/xml_edit.c#l465 libxslt does define str:replace so it should work: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/blob/master/libexslt/strings.c#L850 Perhaps your version of libxslt is too old?

I would like to do something like this: xmlstarlet ed -u "/my/xpath[@entry]/@entry -x "str:replace(.,\"from\",\"to\")" But str:replace is not implemented in xmlstarlet. Unfortunately I am unsure which exslt commands are implemented, I found no information on how I get a complete list of the supported functions. I am also interested in improving the code to make this easily possible. Where to start? Thanks!

Various hangs and infinite loops found with AFL

XMLStarlet failed to properly `format` certain SVG image

Okay, sounds like it's working as intended, closing the bug.
-
I think this is a bug in xmlstarlet, not libxml. Specifically, these lines in xml_select.c:do_file() before the xmlReadFile call: value = xmlStrdup((const xmlChar *)"'"); value = xmlStrcat(value, (const xmlChar *)filename); value = xmlStrcat(value, (const xmlChar *)"'"); Obviously, just putting single quotes around a value which itself contains single quotes is not proper quoting.
-
People at libxml2 informed me that this is due to the xml:space="preserve" attribute in the SVG file, after removing the attribute xmlstarlet works as expected.
-
The output of xmllint --format also seems to be broken as well, so it might be a libxml issue.

@dmichelsen, @mgrouch, @npostavs: I noticed LibXml2 has a similar bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753880 Given the similarities, do you suggest that this bug should be resolved in LibXml2 rather than here?

Addtional observations: - LibXml2 internally calls stat() in an attempt to obtain information about the file (see method libxml2::xmlIO.c::xmlCheckFilename). - LibXml2 does attempt to sanitize the pathname, but only to an extent to determine if it is a valid network path or not, and to clean URI encoding problems (see method libxml2::uri.c::xmlURIUnescapeString) Analysis: - LibXml2 does not handle name encoding problems. This shows up in passing filenames with escaped quotes. File names such as "foo\'s.nfo"...
