To delete and replace and xml element using XML::Twig

on command prompt run the following perl one liner.

perl -pi -e 's/5625/3268/g' file.xml

The problem with suhasbharadwaj's answer is that it is non-specific.  If 5625 occurs anywhere in the file (even as part of another number), it will replace it.  I would recommend this instead:

perl -pi -e 's{<InputStreamLimitInKB>5625</InputStreamLimitInKB>}{<InputStreamLimitInKB>3268</InputStreamLimitInKB>}gi' file.xml

Select allOpen in new window

If the XML is structured such that the tags will ever not be on the same line as the value for InputStreamLimitInKB, then the above will need to be tweaked.

You can also do the above as part of another script using a loop.  If you want to replace it in-place in the file, I'd suggest Tie::File if you want it as part of another script.

foreach (<INPUT>) {
    s{<InputStreamLimitInKB>5625</InputStreamLimitInKB>}{<InputStreamLimitInKB>3268</InputStreamLimitInKB>}gi;
}

Select allOpen in new window

I can not give you an XML::Twig answer as I use other XML modules.

Because i used the module i was asking for
