I need to parse an XML without an xmlparser, is this possible? I started with xmlstarlet, which works nice, but I can not use any real parser on that machine.



I need it to be a one-liner. I just need this:



/dev/mdX /dev/sda5 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 ... /dev/sdsb5


My Script looks like this currently:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1; 
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( sed -n 's/[^"]*"([^"]*)"[^"]*/1 /gp' $j | cut -d " " -f2);
done


which outputs to



/dev/md2 UTF-8 /volume1 X3BAVZ-PqyQ-BNvJ-mYaf-9lAR-Up24-icJSsM 11a49b00:599c89fe:09b6521c:2cea662f /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6

/dev/sdrc5 /dev/sdsa5 /dev/sdsb5 /dev/vg1000/lv


or when I used the parser in the second part too, which is just what I need, but I need to eliminate xmlstarlet:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1;
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/disks/disk/@dev_path' $j );
done


output:

Is there a way to do this without xmlstarlet?










share|improve this question























  • What is the reason you need to do it without xmlstarlet? If it's because "no additional software may be installed", then talk to your manager and ask them if they want a stable system or a hack.

  • i remote into machines, but i can not install additional software on them, this does not really have anything to do with manager decisions. there are no package sources I can install anything from on this distribution i need to use. it was based on deabian once, but dkpg is not installed. Also those arent x86/x64 CPUs, so I would need to compile them first, which I don't have time for.

  • Another option would be to transfer the file to a system that has XML tools installed, then transfer it back.

  • Ah I just saw your comment. How would I do this in a automated way without running a ssh-server on my local system?
    – James Doe
    Aug 26 at 11:18










  • I am thinking of a different approach : If I'm connected via SSH, can I somehow send the output of the xml file to my local terminal, send the file through xmlstarlet and show the output in my local terminal, then re-connect to ssh, so I can just copy/paste the output of xmstarlet to the remote machine again? Is this possible without running a ssh-server on my local machine?

I need it to be a one-liner. I just need this:



/dev/mdX /dev/sda5 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 ... /dev/sdsb5


My Script looks like this currently:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1; 
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( sed -n 's/[^"]*"([^"]*)"[^"]*/1 /gp' $j | cut -d " " -f2);
done


which outputs to

Is there a way to do this without xmlstarlet?










share|improve this question























  • What is the reason you need to do it without xmlstarlet? If it's because "no additional software may be installed", then talk to your manager and ask them if they want a stable system or a hack.

  • i remote into machines, but i can not install additional software on them, this does not really have anything to do with manager decisions. there are no package sources I can install anything from on this distribution i need to use. it was based on deabian once, but dkpg is not installed. Also those arent x86/x64 CPUs, so I would need to compile them first, which I don't have time for.

  • Another option would be to transfer the file to a system that has XML tools installed, then transfer it back.

  • Ah I just saw your comment. How would I do this in a automated way without running a ssh-server on my local system?
    – James Doe

  • I am thinking of a different approach : If I'm connected via SSH, can I somehow send the output of the xml file to my local terminal, send the file through xmlstarlet and show the output in my local terminal, then re-connect to ssh, so I can just copy/paste the output of xmstarlet to the remote machine again? Is this possible without running a ssh-server on my local machine?

I need to parse an XML without an xmlparser, is this possible? I started with xmlstarlet, which works nice, but I can not use any real parser on that machine.



I need it to be a one-liner. I just need this:



/dev/mdX /dev/sda5 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 ... /dev/sdsb5


My Script looks like this currently:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1; 
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( sed -n 's/[^"]*"([^"]*)"[^"]*/1 /gp' $j | cut -d " " -f2);
done


which outputs to



/dev/md2 UTF-8 /volume1 X3BAVZ-PqyQ-BNvJ-mYaf-9lAR-Up24-icJSsM 11a49b00:599c89fe:09b6521c:2cea662f /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6
/dev/sdmc6 /dev/sdna6 /dev/sdnb6 /dev/sdnc6 /dev/sdoa6 /dev/sdob6 /dev/sdoc6 /dev/sdpa6 /dev/sdpb6 /dev/sdqb6 /dev/sdqc6
/dev/sdra6 /dev/sdrb6 /dev/sdrc6 /dev/sdsa6 /dev/sdsb6 a11476dd:d11720f9:3ae54a77:a2fdb1eb /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5
/dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5 /dev/sde5 /dev/sdf5 /dev/sdg5 /dev/sdh5 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdj5 /dev/sdma5 /dev/sdmb5 /dev/sdmc5 /dev/sdna5
/dev/sdnb5 /dev/sdnc5 /dev/sdoa5 /dev/sdob5 /dev/sdoc5 /dev/sdpa5 /dev/sdpb5 /dev/sdqb5 /dev/sdqc5 /dev/sdra5 /dev/sdrb5
/dev/sdrc5 /dev/sdsa5 /dev/sdsb5 /dev/vg1000/lv


or when I used the parser in the second part too, which is just what I need, but I need to eliminate xmlstarlet:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1;
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/disks/disk/@dev_path' $j );
done


output:



/dev/md3 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 /dev/sdmc6 /dev/sdna6 /dev/sdnb6 /dev/sdnc6 /dev/sdoa6 /dev/sdob6 /dev/sdoc6 /dev/sdpa6 /dev/sdpb6 /dev/sdqb6 /dev/sdqc6 /dev/sdra6 /dev/sdrb6 /dev/sdrc6 /dev/sdsa6 /dev/sdsb6 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5 /dev/sde5 /dev/sdf5 /dev/sdg5 /dev/sdh5 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdj5 /dev/sdma5 /dev/sdmb5 /dev/sdmc5 /dev/sdna5 /dev/sdnb5 /dev/sdnc5 /dev/sdoa5 /dev/sdob5 /dev/sdoc5 /dev/sdpa5 /dev/sdpb5 /dev/sdqb5 /dev/sdqc5 /dev/sdra5 /dev/sdrb5 /dev/sdrc5 /dev/sdsa5 /dev/sdsb5

Is there a way to do this without xmlstarlet?










share|improve this question















I need to parse an XML without an xmlparser, is this possible? I started with xmlstarlet, which works nice, but I can not use any real parser on that machine.



I need it to be a one-liner. I just need this:



/dev/mdX /dev/sda5 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 ... /dev/sdsb5


My Script looks like this currently:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1; 
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( sed -n 's/[^"]*"([^"]*)"[^"]*/1 /gp' $j | cut -d " " -f2);
done


which outputs to



/dev/md2 UTF-8 /volume1 X3BAVZ-PqyQ-BNvJ-mYaf-9lAR-Up24-icJSsM 11a49b00:599c89fe:09b6521c:2cea662f /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6
/dev/sdmc6 /dev/sdna6 /dev/sdnb6 /dev/sdnc6 /dev/sdoa6 /dev/sdob6 /dev/sdoc6 /dev/sdpa6 /dev/sdpb6 /dev/sdqb6 /dev/sdqc6
/dev/sdra6 /dev/sdrb6 /dev/sdrc6 /dev/sdsa6 /dev/sdsb6 a11476dd:d11720f9:3ae54a77:a2fdb1eb /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5
/dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5 /dev/sde5 /dev/sdf5 /dev/sdg5 /dev/sdh5 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdj5 /dev/sdma5 /dev/sdmb5 /dev/sdmc5 /dev/sdna5
/dev/sdnb5 /dev/sdnc5 /dev/sdoa5 /dev/sdob5 /dev/sdoc5 /dev/sdpa5 /dev/sdpb5 /dev/sdqb5 /dev/sdqc5 /dev/sdra5 /dev/sdrb5
/dev/sdrc5 /dev/sdsa5 /dev/sdsb5 /dev/vg1000/lv


or when I used the parser in the second part too, which is just what I need, but I need to eliminate xmlstarlet:



cat xml.txt; j=!:1;
for i in $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/@path' $j );
do echo -e \n$i $( xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/spaces/space/device/lvm/raids/raid/disks/disk/@dev_path' $j );
done


output:



/dev/md3 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 /dev/sdmc6 /dev/sdna6 /dev/sdnb6 /dev/sdnc6 /dev/sdoa6 /dev/sdob6 /dev/sdoc6 /dev/sdpa6 /dev/sdpb6 /dev/sdqb6 /dev/sdqc6 /dev/sdra6 /dev/sdrb6 /dev/sdrc6 /dev/sdsa6 /dev/sdsb6 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5 /dev/sde5 /dev/sdf5 /dev/sdg5 /dev/sdh5 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdj5 /dev/sdma5 /dev/sdmb5 /dev/sdmc5 /dev/sdna5 /dev/sdnb5 /dev/sdnc5 /dev/sdoa5 /dev/sdob5 /dev/sdoc5 /dev/sdpa5 /dev/sdpb5 /dev/sdqb5 /dev/sdqc5 /dev/sdra5 /dev/sdrb5 /dev/sdrc5 /dev/sdsa5 /dev/sdsb5

  • What is the reason you need to do it without xmlstarlet? If it's because "no additional software may be installed", then talk to your manager and ask them if they want a stable system or a hack.

  • i remote into machines, but i can not install additional software on them, this does not really have anything to do with manager decisions. there are no package sources I can install anything from on this distribution i need to use. it was based on deabian once, but dkpg is not installed. Also those arent x86/x64 CPUs, so I would need to compile them first, which I don't have time for.

  • Another option would be to transfer the file to a system that has XML tools installed, then transfer it back.

  • Ah I just saw your comment. How would I do this in a automated way without running a ssh-server on my local system?
    – James Doe
    Aug 26 at 11:18










  • I am thinking of a different approach : If I'm connected via SSH, can I somehow send the output of the xml file to my local terminal, send the file through xmlstarlet and show the output in my local terminal, then re-connect to ssh, so I can just copy/paste the output of xmstarlet to the remote machine again? Is this possible without running a ssh-server on my local machine?

Try this,



awk -F '"' '/dev_path/ print $4 /raid path/ print $2 /raid>/ print $5' file.xml | grep -v "vg" | tr 'n' ' ' | sed 's# #n#g'

/dev/md3 /dev/sdma6 /dev/sdmb6 /dev/sdmc6 /dev/sdna6 /dev/sdnb6 /dev/sdnc6 /dev/sdoa6 /dev/sdob6 /dev/sdoc6 /dev/sdpa6 /dev/sdpb6 /dev/sdqb6 /dev/sdqc6 /dev/sdra6 /dev/sdrb6 /dev/sdrc6 /dev/sdsa6 /dev/sdsb6

  • print the 4th field and 2nd field where the line has dev_path and raid path respectively with " as a delimiter (/raid>/ print $5 is just to have two line result)

  • then exclude the volume group with grep -v

  • then transpose all newline to space


  • To have the two line output, replace double space with newline.


For you second script:



 awk -F '"' '/dev_path/ print $4 /raid path/ print $2 /reference>/ print $5' file.xml |grep -v "vg" | tr 'n' ' ' | sed 's# #n#g'

/dev/md3 /dev/sda3
/dev/md3
/dev/md2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3
/dev/md2


Option 2:



 grep -wo '/dev/.*"' file.xml | grep -v vg |awk -F '"' 'print $1' | uniq | tr 'n' ' ' | sed -e 's#/dev/md#n/dev/md#g'

  • print the 4th field and 2nd field where the line has dev_path and raid path respectively with " as a delimiter (/raid>/ print $5 is just to have two line result)

  • then exclude the volume group with grep -v

  • then transpose all newline to space


  • To have the two line output, replace double space with newline.


For you second script:



 awk -F '"' '/dev_path/ print $4 /raid path/ print $2 /reference>/ print $5' file.xml |grep -v "vg" | tr 'n' ' ' | sed 's# #n#g'

/dev/md3 /dev/sda3
/dev/md3
/dev/md2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3
/dev/md2


Option 2:



 grep -wo '/dev/.*"' file.xml | grep -v vg |awk -F '"' 'print $1' | uniq | tr 'n' ' ' | sed -e 's#/dev/md#n/dev/md#g'

  • One more question though: sometimes I need to sort the HDDs by slot="0"> from 0 to x. How can I add this to your script? Is it also possible replace a massing HDD with "missing"?

  • @JamesDoe Use sort command before tr

  • Ok thank you!Is there some way I can make this uniserval the same same scipt? Like can I use if then inside awk? But I am not sure how that if then would have to look like.
