Code example for XML read with bash from [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/893585/how-to-parse-xml-in-bash]]

<code>
filter='(720p|epack|"Month of"\)'

rdom () { local IFS=\> ; read -d \< E C ;}

while rdom; do
   if [[ $E = title ]]; then
        echo $C #|egrep -v $filter
        echo $C |egrep -v $filter
   fi
done < tmp.txt
</code>

This unfortunately yields:
<code>
-bash-3.2# ./testrdom.sh 
egrep: Unmatched ( or \(
./testrdom.sh: line 8: echo: write error: Broken pipe
blah
egrep: Unmatched ( or \(
bla (US) - blah (720p .mkv) (Repack)
egrep: Unmatched ( or \(
blah - 1x16 - blah (720p .mkv)
</code>
An error for every line, despite the fact that some lines do not contain "(" or ")".
