[Xmlstar-devel] xmlstarlet creates curious values

[Averlon G. (in G. <in...@av...>]

Hi all,

 

I have tried to set a value for a xml attribute like this:

 

xmlstarlet ed --update
"/charts/lineChart/data[@id='lineChartOptions']/item[@key='legendTemplate']"
-v '<![CDATA' /tmp/input.av_chart.xml

 

The value is nonsense but for testing purposes.

 

Result is:

 

<item key="legendTemplate">&lt;![CDATA</item>

 

I also tried the global parameter “—pf” but same result.

 

What can I do different to preserve the value as written in the command?

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards
