[WUD 2.21 Final]

great tool!

I found a fairly useful command line script that tzeentch created here.

But this is shapping up to be more suited to my needs (single executable is much neater), great work.

sggrep -r "BulletinDatastore/Locations/Location[ LocationID = '^(559|968|976|983|988|996|1006|1008|329|

arrgh thats better , I thought that the query was wrong somehow but now i see it was so simple.

Keep going tzeentch your script is really useful!

I think its got something to do with winupdl_7393_tmp_ProductIDs

when you use: set WINUPDL_Product=^^Windows XP.*

it produces the winupdl_7393_tmp_ProductIDs with these entries:

181 (Windows XP Home Edition)

182 (Windows XP Media Center Edition)

183 (Windows XP Professional)

184 (Windows XP Tablet PC Edition)

In STEP 4: extract the location id

sggrep -r -q "BulletinDatastore/Bulletins/Bulletin/Patches/Patch[ SeverityID = '^(!WINUPDL_SeverityIDs!

|4)' ]" -s ".*/AffectedProduct[ ProductID = '^(!WINUPDL_ProductIDs!|184)' ]/AffectedServicePack[ ServicePackID = '^(244)' ]

" -- mssecure.xml | sgmltrans -r tmp\winupdl_15814_tmp_xml.transform | sed -e "s/\t*//g" -e "/^$/d" 1>tmp\winupdl_15814_tmp_PatchLocationIDs

Error: Document ends too soon

in unnamed entity at line 1 char 1 of <stdin>

Fatal LTSTD error (severity 1) at D:\work\LTXML\src\api\sgmlfiles.c.981: Parser detected error

it searchs the severity ID (in my case 4) against the product id 184 and servicepackID 244, which comes up with null, so it never creates winupdl_7393_tmp_PatchLocationIDs properly because sggrep throws a parse error or something,(null string?) so when it goes to step 5

sggrep -r "BulletinDatastore/Locations/Location[ LocationID = '^()' ]" -- mssecure.xml | sgmltrans -r tmp\winupdl_15814_tmp_xml.transform | sed -e "s/\t*//g" -e "/^$/d" | sed -ne "/\.[Ee][Xx][Ee]/p" 1>tmp\winupdl_15814_tmp_DLPaths

location ID is null. thus it selects all location URLS from mssecure.xml.

If you change the WINUPDL_Product variable to WINUPDL_Product=^^Windows XP Professional.*

it creates:

winupdl_7393_tmp_ProductIDs with this entrie:

183 (Windows XP Professional)

which runs through without the error, but only d/ls 1 patch..

Any ideas>?
