NAME

xmlwhere - LT NSL program for giving a summary of the positions of

SYNOPSIS

usage:

xmlwhere [-d ddb-file] [-u base_url] [-v] [-n] [-r]
-q query [ -s sub-query] [-t regexp] [file]

-d ddb-file: Take Dtd from specified ddb file
-v: invert sense of sub-query+regexp
-n: don't force a newline between output matches
-r: attribute values in queries are regular expressions
-q query: Main query
-s sub-query: Sub query
-t regexp: Regular expression

DESCRIPTION

The material below may be out of date: consult LT XML documentation please.

xmlwhere lets one find the global context of particular SGML elements in an nSGML file.

DESCRIPTION: Input/Output

Description of the input/output files involved in this program.

Input ==> An nSGML file : [<filename> or stdin]

Output ==> A text file containing complete LT NSL queries for each SGML element

which matches query, sub-query and regexp (as per sggrep). (for format see below): [stdout]

OPTIONS

-q query

Main query (as for sggrep(q.v))

-sq sub-query

Sub query (as for sggrep(q.v))

-t regexp

Regular expression (as for sggrep(q.v))

-d ddb-file

Take Dtd from specified ddb file

-v

Complement operation. If this option is specified then only elements which do match the <query>, but do not match the <subquery> plus <regexp> combination, are output. Default is normal matching.

-r

Interpret values of attributes in queries as regular expressions. Default is to treat attribute values as plain strings.

-n

Don't force a newline between output matches.

NSLWHERE OUTPUT FORMAT

The output consists of lines of the form (e.g.)
/PARSEDCHANNEL[0]/TEXT[0]/PARA[34]/UTT[0]/S[1] /PARSEDCHANNEL[0]/TEXT[0]/PARA[36]/UTT[0]/S[0]
which would mean that in the input file, there were two S elements, the first of which was in the 1st (0+1) UTT element in the 35th (34+1) PARA element in the 1st (0+1) TEXT element in the 1st (0+1) PARSEDCHANNEL element. Similarly for the second S element.
