Hi everyone, I'm new to the group and to using grep. I've done some
reading in the user's manual and here on the group but have not yet
figured out how to do the following and would certainly appreciate any
help you can provide.

I have an XML document which uses self-closing tags containing id
attributes of varying length for a variety of different elements. I
need to convert these to opening and closing tags which contain the
attribute value. For example I need to change:

<BaseVehicle id="5888"/>
<Position id="22"/>

Into:

<BaseVehicle>5888</BaseVehicle>
<Position>22</Position>

I'm perfectly happy to change just one tag type at a time, for example
all <BaseVehicle> tags and then run it again to change all <Position>
and other tag types in the document. Any help anyone can offer would
be tremendously appreciated. Thanks!
