Just putting this here because I was asked to. How to transform a file using XSLT on the command line.
Here is a really simple xsl stylesheet to remove some elements from an xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="book[@name='X']"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is an xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
<book name="X">
<title>A book</title>
</book>
<book name="Y">
<title>Another book</title>
</book>
</a>
Here is a command:
xsltproc x.xsl x.xml
And here is the output;
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a>
<book name="Y">
<title>Another book</title>
</book>
</a>
