But this hard coded evertime a new file will be there when this script is called.

If you have one file and if it's so critical, why don't simply use an editor?

Thanks for ur suggestion.
I know how to change .txt file manually or using editor.

But i need automate the system. Everytime a file came to unix box its get converted into xml. And i a min 1000 file can come.

THanks and Regards

echo "<documentbody>$(cat infile.txt)</documentbody>" > outfile.txt

Or with awk...

 
awk 'BEGIN{print "<documentbody>"}{print $0}END{print "</documentbody>"}' infile

I would also recommend placing the text inside a CDATA section to guard against illegal XML characters.
