XML File Encapsulation

[Scott Jones]

Hello All,

My XML journey continues and I have reached the another step. The file that I will ftp messages from may contain one or multiple XML messages and unlike HL7 it is not clear cut as to the begining and ending of a message. So, I am trying to add code that will place a hex v (vertical tab) at the begining and o034r (octal value file separatorcarriage return). So, this is how I’m trying to do this:

cd $inbound

ls > templist

#

while read line

do

         outf=”$outdir/$line”

         echo “IN:$line   =>   OUT:$outf”

         echo v > $outf

         cat $line >> $outf

         echo o034r >> $outf

         mv $line $savedir/$line-$HL7date

done < templist The values simply will not populate in the messages or if they do, they appear as literals. Should I try something different? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Scott CL 5.6.1 AIX
