I am in need of a solution using xmlstarlet to search for a xmltag based on a condition and edit its xmltag value.
My command
xmlstarlet ed -N a="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" -u "/a:project/a:properties/a:ifm.core_system_ui.version[.=contains(.,'3.700.999')]" -x "concat(translate(substring-before(.,','),'8','7'),',',substring-after(.,','))" pom.xml
I have crafted the xmlstarlet command to search and replace the xmltag value under /properties/ifm.core_system_ui.version
but I need our communities help to develop this command to search for the xmltag under <properties>
that has it name that ends with version>
and edit the value under that tag
Sample pom.xml

Since xmlstarlet can't use the XPath 2.0 function ends-with()
, you could try using substring()
to check the end of the name...
Try replacing:
a:ifm.core_system_ui.version
with:
*[substring(name(),string-length(name())-string-length('version')+1)='version']
Here's the updated command (untested)...
xmlstarlet ed -N a="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" -u "/a:project/a:properties/*[substring(name(),string-length(name())-string-length('version')+1)='version'][.=contains(.,'3.700.999')]" -x "concat(translate(substring-before(.,','),'8','7'),',',substring-after(.,','))" pom.xml
