XML file:



<div style="position:absolute;left:314.81px;top:194.39px" class="cls_003">STUDENT while filling your online registration, you will find a</div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:39.65px;top:200.20px" class="cls_003">1</div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:50.18px;top:200.20px">
<span class="cls_005">PRINT this form </span>
<span class="cls_003">. Make sure you print pages 3 and 4 </span>
</div>

this is one of the example xml file.
i need to replace class="cls_003" with corresponding line in the comment for <div> tag
similarly for class="cls_005" in <span> tag, by include style attr instead of class in <span> tag

result should be like,

<div style="position:absolute;left:314.81px;top:194.39px;font-family:Arial,serif;font-size:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-weight:normal;font-style:normal">STUDENT while filling your online registration, you will find a</div>

<div style="position:absolute;left:39.65px;top:200.20px;font-family:Arial,serif;font-size:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-weight:normal;font-style:normal">1</div>

<div style="position:absolute;left:50.18px;top:200.20px">
<span style="font-family:Arial,serif;font-size:8px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-weight:bold;font-style:normal">PRINT this form </span>

<span style="font-family:Arial,serif;font-size:9px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-weight:normal;font-style:normal">. Make sure you print pages 3 and 4 </span>
</div>

You really ought to do your own homework if you expect to learn anything.

Have you read the documentation for SED and AWK?

24 hours later, it seems that this was really not that urgent for you.

I'm closing this, but please feel free to make a new thread with any more specific questions that come from reading the documentation.
