Searching XML Files
Question:
I need to create a script that will search a list of XML files for a particular tag, then do something with the file depending on the results. All the XML files are in a processing directory called "TEMP". The files are large (between 6 and 12MB, or some 180,000 lines), and new XML files are being added every 10 to 20 minutes.Answer:
You could try using XMLStarlet, which is a command-line tool that can query and edit XML files without the overhead of the XML DOM or other methods...XMLStarlet is downloadable from: http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
Make sure to place it in the script's folder or within the PATH of your PC...

Indicator = FileGet(outfile)
