xmlstarlet format

xmlstarlet

Solution

The fo subcommand always writes to stdout, so you would have to patch xmlstarlet.

Otherwise

TMP_XML=$(mktemp)
xmlstarlet fo --indent-tab --omit-decl project_00.xml > "$TMP_XML"
mv "$TMP_XML" project_00.xml

Problem

I am trying to format a xml file using xmlstarlet but I don't want to create a new xml file. I tried this ``` xmlstarlet fo --inplace --indent-tab --omit-decl project_00.xml ``` but the parameter `--inplace` is not allowed to the `fo` (format) command. Does anyone know how I do this?
