ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Oh dear...
You, my friend, just solved one of my biggest problem. I had a task to find RewriteRules from very complex Apache config (huge amount virtualhosts, but few needed, with gigantic rewriterule sets within).
I really do appreciate that you send this information about solving your problem...
It is not common (what a pity) that people share their solutions.
i have a similar problem, where i want to check the data between the 2 tags <filesystem_section> </filesystem_section> and check the value: if delete_file filetype="File" then replace the values of
copy_file filetype="New_File1" and
set_file_attributes filetype="New_File2" . <filesystem_section> </filesystem_section> tags exist mutiple times. how we can we do this?
Neither sed nor grep alone or in combination are up to the task. Awk might give you a fighting chance, but is not ideal.
Use Perl and one of the mature XML parsers written for it. Search CPAN for details. Don't try to re-invent that particular wheel unless you're convinced that you can improve upon it (and since you're asking the question here, that seems unlikely).
