Quick Summary: I need to create a Bash script to change the text within a node automatically every week. The script will match the node and replace the text inside them (if this is possible)? How would I do this?
Long Summary: I host a Minecraft server which has shops, each of which have their own .xml file in the /ShowcaseStandalone/ffs-storage/ directory. Every Sunday my server restarts and executes several commands into the terminal to reset several things. One thing that I am trying to make change is one of the shops. I am wanting to change the text in the node <itemstack> and the text in the node <price>. I am simply wanting to take text from a .txt file in a different folder, and insert it into that node. The problem is, that the text in the node will change every week. Is there any way to replace a specific line or text within two nodes using bash?
