Nick - I often use xmlstarlet to wade through unfamiliar XML files, like so:
first, the structure
$ xml el -u b008s14v.xml
iplayerMedia
iplayerMedia/concept
iplayerMedia/concept/longSynopsis
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident/height
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident/identifier
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident/mediaType
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident/server
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/ident/width
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/thumbnail
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/thumbnail/height
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/thumbnail/mediaType
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/thumbnail/url
iplayerMedia/concept/masterbrand/thumbnail/width
iplayerMedia/concept/mediumSynopsis
iplayerMedia/concept/pid
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/mediumSynopsis
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/pid
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/subtitle
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/thumbnail
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/thumbnail/height
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/thumbnail/mediaType
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/thumbnail/url
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/thumbnail/width
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/title
iplayerMedia/concept/relatedConcepts/concept/url
iplayerMedia/concept/shortSynopsis
iplayerMedia/concept/subtitle
iplayerMedia/concept/thumbnail
iplayerMedia/concept/thumbnail/height
iplayerMedia/concept/thumbnail/mediaType
iplayerMedia/concept/thumbnail/url
iplayerMedia/concept/thumbnail/width
iplayerMedia/concept/title
iplayerMedia/concept/url
iplayerMedia/concept/versions
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/available
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/duration
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/guidance
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/guidance/text
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/name
iplayerMedia/concept/versions/version/pid
Then, the sel command to output:
$ xml sel -t -m "//iplayerMedia/concept" -v "title" -n -v "subtitle"
-v "versions/version/guidance" b008s14v.xml
Torchwood: Series 2
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Contains some violence.
$
xmlstarlet runs on everything. What I love about it is that the same
operation can then be applied to a thousand files. It generates XML
par default but can output text as above, ready for formatting or
parsing by anything else.
