Create xml file with existing Folder and File names through shell script - bash

Question

I'm very new to Shell Script. I need to create an XML file with Folder and files within the folder. The requirement is something like below.
For example: I have a folder called 'classes'
under this folder I have multiple files like '1.cls', '2.cls', '3.cls', etc.,
Similarly, I have other folders as well.
For example:
Folder name - 'Pages'
Files Under that folder name - '1.page', '2.page', '3.page' etc.,
Now my XML file should look something like below:
<types>
<members>1</members>
<members>2</members>
<members>3</members>
<name>classes</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>1</members>
<members>2</members>
<members>3</members>
<name>Pages</name>
</types>

Answer 1

Try the following in the directory where other required directories and their files are present:
#!/bin/bash
declare -r XML_FILE="Sample.xml"
[ -f ${XML_FILE} ] && : > ${XML_FILE}
for directory_name in $(ls -F . | grep '/' | sed 's|/||')
do
echo -e "<types>" >> ${XML_FILE}
dirfiles=$(ls -A ${directory_name})
if [ "${dirfiles}" ] ; then
for files in ${dirfiles}
do
echo -e "\t<members>${files/.*}</members>" >> ${XML_FILE}
done
fi
echo -e "\t<name>${directory_name}</name>" >> ${XML_FILE}
echo -e "</types>" >> ${XML_FILE}
done
Example
As per your example statements
mkdir -p classes Pages
touch classes/{1.cls,2.cls,3.cls}
touch Pages/{1.page,2.page,3.page}
Let the script be xmls.sh.
Execute the script: bash xmls.sh
View the output of Sample.xml: cat Sample.xml
<types>
<members>1</members>
<members>2</members>
<members>3</members>
<name>classes</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>1</members>
<members>2</members>
<members>3</members>
<name>Pages</name>
</types>
Now, Sample.xml file contains the above XML elements.
