Hi - non technical user here, proud to have figured out part of my goal.
I have multiple XML files that I am trying to scan through to pluck out
instances of tag attributes. The XML looks like this, and I want to extract
the NAME and LIKES attributes across the files.
<ANIMAL NAME="Fluffy" SPECIES="dog" LIKES="bones" AGE="6">
Using grep + extract I am able to produce this:
search = (?<=NAME=").*?(?=")|(?<=LIKES=").*?(?=")
output =
Fluffy
bones
Tiger
chewtoys
Rusty
mailmen
I would love output that includes my own text:
Fluffy -- bones
Tiger -- chewtoys
Rusty -- mailmen
or at least has the output values in one line per XML tag
Fluffy bones
Tiger chewtoys
Rusty mailmen
I learned the pipe character lets me make multiple extractions but I am not
able to control the output.
Can you help?
Thanking you...
