moin moin,

I tried Xmlstarlet and it just wasn't working for me.

I'll give it another go next time I need to do a transform.

danke,

Actually, sgrep with sed for XML :).

I have a chunk of XML I would like to transform. Any suggestions on how
to
do the following from the command line?

----
    <table:table-row>
     <table:table-cell table:style-name="Table1.A1"
office:value-type="string">
      <text:p text:style-name="Standard">blah content stuff</text:p>
     </table:table-cell>
     <table:table-cell table:number-columns-spanned="2"
office:value-type="string">
      <text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
     </table:table-cell>
     <table:covered-table-cell/>
    </table:table-row>
----

I would like to make the first cell span 3 columns and wipe out the
second
cell.

The graphical tool essentially turns it into the following.

----
    <table:table-row>
     <table:table-cell table:style-name="Table1.A2"
table:number-columns-spanned="3" office:value-type="string">
      <text:p text:style-name="Standard">blah content stuff</text:p>
     </table:table-cell>
     <table:covered-table-cell/>
    </table:table-row>
----

A new style, Table1.A2, is introduced. That cell is spanned across
three
columnts. The table:table-cell object for the second cell is removed.

I can do this with sed, but that invites XML issues. Also, there are
some
more complex changes I want to make.

ciao,
