    <p>I managed to extract a value from a XML file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;--more labels up this line&gt; &lt;ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastVMSelected" value="14cd3204-4774-46b8-be89-cc834efcba89"/&gt; &lt;--more labels and text down this line--&gt; </code></pre> <p>by using this:</p> <pre><code> UUID=$(sed -ne '/name="GUI\/LastVMSelected"/s/.*value="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p' inputfile.xml) echo $UUID </code></pre> <p>I have this result in console:</p> <pre><code>14cd3204-4774-46b8-be89-cc834efcba89 </code></pre> <p>That's it! But now, I need to use that UUID to get to another part of the same XML file, that I didn't show before. I simplified the XML file just to show the most relevant labels: </p> <pre><code> &lt;--more labels up this line&gt; &lt;ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastVMSelected" value="14cd3204-4774-46b8-be89-cc834efcba89"/&gt; &lt;--more labels and text down this line--&gt; &lt;MachineEntry uuid="{14cd3204-4774-46b8-be89-cc834efcba89}" src="Machines/SomeMachine/SomeMachine.xml"/&gt; &lt;--more labels and text down this line--&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>I need to get "SomeMachine"</strong> without extension, only that name. I tried myself adding some lines:</p> <pre><code>UUID=$(sed -ne '/name="GUI\/LastVMSelected"/s/.*value="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p' inputfile.xml) LastVMname=$(sed -ne '/MachineEntry uuid="{'$UUID'}"/s/.*src="Machines\([^"]*\).xml".*/\1/p' inputfile.xml) echo $LastVMname </code></pre> <p>But I get this output: </p> <pre><code>/SomeMachine/SomeMachine </code></pre> <p>and I don't how to get rid of /SomeMachine/SomeMachine, just need "SomeMachine". Sed documentation is quite confusing :S</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
