I am new to xmlstarlet so hoping this answer is a simple one.
I am writing a script to modify Inkscape SVG files from the command line. I chose the tool xmlstarlet.
After testing the command syntax on test files, I am having trouble on the real SVG files. I think the use of namespaces is throwing me off.
Example file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!-- Created with Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) -->
<svg
xmlns:osb="http://www.openswatchbook.org/uri/2009/osb"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"
xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"
width="603"
height="1000"
viewBox="0 0 159.54375 264.58334"
version="1.1"
id="svg8"
inkscape:version="0.92.1 r"
sodipodi:docname="test.svg"
inkscape:export-filename="/home/user/dev/inkscape/test/1.png"
inkscape:export-xdpi="96"
inkscape:export-ydpi="96">
<defs
id="defs2">
<linearGradient
inkscape:collect="always"
id="linearGradient6204">
<stop
style="stop-color:#8f1a22;stop-opacity:1;"
offset="0"
id="stop6200" />
<stop
style="stop-color:#8f1a22;stop-opacity:0;"
offset="1"
id="stop6202" />
</linearGradient>
</defs>
</svg>
I want to change Gradient6204
to Gradient9999
.
I wrote this command, which does not work (just returns the original file).
xmlstarlet ed -u "/svg/defs/linearGradient[@id='linearGradient6204']/@id" -v 'linearGradient9999' text.txt
I also tried again, adding the namespaces with -N but no luck. I found that if I delete the line:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
from the file then the command I wrote above works.
What is the proper syntax for updating the SVG file above in the way I described?
