Re: [Xmlstar-devel] Great!

[Mikhail G. <mgr...@co...>]

Thanks for your support.

There are several areas where xmlstarlet needs to be improved. And one of
them is support
for XPATH expressions as r-value in 'edit' options, so that @id = @id + 1
can be done,
as well as others.

Honestly I haven't give it much thought yet. So your suggestions are
welcome.
Can you give me some examples of how you think that could be achieved?

I think it needs to be done not only for '-u' but for others as well.
You can send patches too :).
