I want to get the versionName from the AndroidManist.xml file with a shell command. I've been trying to use grep and with:
grep versionName ./AndroidManifest.xml
I'm getting this line:
android:versionName="1.0">
Is it possible to narrow it down to 1.0 somehow?
Thanks in advance
Try this :
perl -e 'while($line=<>) { if ($line=~ /versionName\s*=\s*"([^"]+)"/) { print "$1\n";}}' <AndroidManifest.xml
You may want to put this into a file :
Ex: VersionNum.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
#get the filename from command line
$file = shift or die;
#open the file and read it into $lines var
open(IN,$file) or die;
$lines=join("",<IN>);
close(IN);
#search the $line var for match and print it
if ($lines =~ m/android:versionName\s*=\s*"([^"]+)"/mgs) {
print "$1\n";
}
Then simply chmod 755 VersionNumber.pl and use it with VersionNumber.pl AndroidManifest.xml
A shorter version could be derived from your original suggestion:
grep versionCode AndroidManifest.xml | sed -e 's/.*versionName\s*=\s*\"\([0-9.]*\)\".*/\1/g'
