<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577547 by <a href="/recipes/users/4135673/">Raphaël Jolivet</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/flatten/">flatten</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/grep/">grep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sed/">sed</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xml/">xml</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xpath/">xpath</a>). </p> <p>This script acts like <a href="http://www.ofb.net/~egnor/xml2/">xml2</a>. It transforms a XML file into a flat text output, with <em>XPath</em>-like syntax, one line per XML node or attribute. This format is more suitable for working with standard unix CLI utils (sed, grep, ... etc).</p>
