xml2tsv added to Bitreich

xml2tsv is a simple tool to turn an XML file into a list of
tab-separated records. The filter reads an XML file from stdin and
writes a tab-separated-values file on stdout.

xml2tsv makes XML content easier to parse using standard unix tools,
like grep, sed, awk, etc. For instance, you can get a list of the titles
of the last commits to annna's repo using something like:

 curl -s gopher://bitreich.org/0/scm/annna/atom.xml | \
       xml2tsv | grep -E "/feed/entry/title" | cut -f 3 | head

or a pretty print-out of headlines of your preferred online journal
with:

 curl -s "http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=rss&items=10" | \
       xml2tsv | grep -E '/rss/channel/item/(title|link)' | \
       cut -f 2 | awk '{if (NR%2 ==0) printf("    "); print $0}'

xml2tsv is written and maintained by KatolaZ and is based on the
xmlparser library by Hiltjo Posthuma.
