XML-STRINGS

NAME

xml-strings − print the strings of data in an XML file to the standard output.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

xml-strings reads each FILE (or the standard input if no FILE is given) and prints the strings of textual data for nodes specified by the corresponding XPATH(s).

By default, printed strings for separate nodes are printed on separate lines; Each printed string is formatted to fit on a single line, by squeezing whitespace and removing embedded newlines; Only text (not attribute values) is printed, unless some XPATH explicitly requests an attribute value.

OPTIONS

--no-squeeze

do not squeeze whitespace or remove embedded newlines in strings.

EXIT STATUS

xml-strings returns 0 on success, or 1 otherwise.

EXAMPLE

xml-strings radio.rss ://title
