Works.

And I thought I knew all the options.

  xmllint -o res.xml tst.xml

I think

xmllint -o tst.xml --format tst.xml

should be safe as the parser will fully load the input into a tree
before opening the output to serialize it.

No. But you can write a script to make it appear as one step.

Maybe like this little script.

Beware that if there is an error in your file,
xmllint will not produce any output, and you risk losing the
original...

Liam

#! /bin/sh

for i
do
mv "$i" "$i.bak" || exit 1
xmllint --format "$i.bak" > "$i"
done

[xml] Can xmllint format with in-place file saving?

2010-08-01 Thread mruhrbach 

Hello list,

I run xmllint to format my XML file: xmllint --format file.xml

The output goes to stdout, so I capture it in a file: xmllint --format 
file.xml > formatted.xml


Now I replace the old with the new: mv formatted.xml file.xml

Question: can this be done in one step? I imagine something like: 
xmllint --format --in-place file.xml, as is known form sed.


Thanks!
