I wrote something to pull some values out of xml data returned by svn that
has a few similarites to what you were doing.
One key thing was handling multiple values returned by one command. I ended
up using arrays for this. They need to be escaped more carefully, but it
seemed better than running the command one for each returned value.
I use the following to get a couple of values:
REV=(`svn info -r $1 --xml --incremental $COLOSSUS | xsltproc colossus-rev.xsl -
`)
And then I use them like this:
svn export -q -r ${REV[1]} $COLOSSUS colossus-${BNAME}-${REV[0]}-${REV[1]}
This is from the colossus srpm and you can look at it if you want to see
more of the example.
