Hi.
Gathering these suggestions together with the call to the older version of xmllint (posted by stomp) and adding xml2 to process the modified XML (posted by greet_sed):
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# @(#) s1 Demonstrate string extraction from XML file.
# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
em() { pe "$*" >&2 ; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C xml_grep xmlstarlet xmllint xml2
FILE=${1-data1}
E=expected-output.txt
pl " Input data file $FILE, $(wc -l <$FILE) lines:"
cat $FILE
pl " Expected output:"
cat $E
pl " Results, xml_grep:"
xml_grep //PORTED_NUM --text_only $FILE
pl " Results, xmlstarlet:"
xmlstarlet sel -t -v //PORTED_NUM $FILE
pe
pl " Results, xmllint:"
xmllint $FILE --xpath '//PORTED_NUM/text()'
pe
pl " Results, xmllint:"
xmllint --shell $FILE <<<'cat //PORTED_NUM' |
perl -ne '/(?<=>)(.*)(?=<)/ and print($1)'
pe
pl " Results, xml2:"
xml2 < data1 |
awk -F= '/PORTED_NUM/ { print $2 }'
exit 0
producing:
$ ./s1

Observations:
1) the code for the early xmllint and xml2 need additional work, perl , awk , grep , etc. to isolate the string of interest.
2) A few of the codes (the ones that have a pe afterwards, seem to omit the trailing newline -- not an error, just something to be noted.
Details for xml2:
xml2 convert xml documents in a flat format (man)
