Select node by its text value in xmlstarlet

Question

I am trying to extract the value of the \'Value\' node, where the \'Key\' node is \'state\' within a bash shell:

Answer 1

This XPath will select Value of a State based on its Key equalling state:

/FrontendStatus/State/String[Key='state']/Value

Or, in xmlstarlet:

$ xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/FrontendStatus/State/String[Key='state']" -v Value 

Will return WatchingLiveTV as requested.
