From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Using Bash for this when source data is XML is simply wrong. It's not the right tool for the job. You should consider learning basics of Python, which you could use to work with the source data.
Unless you already know how to do that in Python, and are simply interested in figuring out how to do that in Bash, in which case godspeed to you.
Thanks I’ll look into that, I was trying to use bash because I can’t really install anything on this server, but it looks like it already has python installed
