[Xmlstar-devel] Great!

[Daniel S. <sh...@ir...>]

Hi,

I would like to congratulate you on XMLStarlet! I think this tool is great
and very flexible! I plan on developping some simple things to it that will
greatly improve its usefullness.

The one thing I would like to add is a way to replace something by doing an
operation on if. For example, replacing the ID attribute with ID + 1. Or
replacing a TEXT node with TEXT passed through a regexp...

I know that there is a -x option in developpement. Do you think it could
accomplish this kind of behavior? Would it be flexible enough?

I was rather thinking that with the xml ed -u could have several -x and in
the end a final -v with the result we want to substitute. What do you think?
