I would like to write a script to extract two numbers from the following
xml file:
<graph caption="Customer: bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx"
xaxisname="Figures Shown Reflect Data Usage in the Last 30 Days"
yAxisName="Data Usage" bgColor="E3ECF6" showGridBg="1"
showCanvas="1" numdivlines="4" decimalPrecision="0"
zeroPlaneColor="CCCCCC" zeroPlaneAlpha="40" numberSuffix="MB">
<set name="Actual Usage Upload" value="1088" color="007CC2"/>
<set name="Usage Threshold Upload" value="5000" color="9CA279"/>
<set name="Actual Usage Download" value="12667" color="007CC2"/>
<set name="Usage Threshold Download" value="17000" color="9CA279"/>
</graph>
The two values I need are in this case the 1988 and the 12667.
<set name="Actual Usage Download" value="12667" color="007CC2"/>
<set name="Actual Usage Upload" value="1088" color="007CC2"/>
I need to create a script I can run daily to check and record our usage
in order to stay within our allocation. I can muddle through the rest
but it would save me a lot of struggling if someone could show me how to
do this part. My effort so far has not been productive!
Great timing! I have been struggling to get the xpath command line tool to do something similar with some xml I have. Can anyone solve Bob's question with xpath? I cannot for the life of me get the xpath syntax right.
Thanks from me too!

I'm not afraid of insects taking over the world, and you know why? It would take about a billion ants just to AIM a gun at me, let alone fire it. And you know what I'm doing while they're aiming it at me? I just sort of slip off to the side, and then suddenly run up and kick the gun out of their hands.
