Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have a XML file : System.xml in which I want to update the license tag with the new data from file licence.xml.
The content of files is in following format:

System.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configuration SYSTEM "SystemVariables.dtd">
<usageConfiguration docformat="750">
<SystemEnvironmentVariables>
<CEM>

</SNMP>
<Log>

<Log.Verbosity>DEBUG</Log.Verbosity>
</Log>
</CEM>

Thanks rdcwayx :slight_smile:

This command updates the required license but tags following the license are still missing i.e. :
</Licenses>
</SystemEnvironmentVariables>
</XACCTusageConfiguration>

So please help on this
