delete lines in xml file

[ecmanfr]

I use awk95 and I would like to know how to delete lines in xml files.

The line is <icon src="3384848.gif" /> where the number of the picture can change. There are many lines like this in the same xml file and the number of the picture change.

Thank you for responding.

Something like this ?
{ gsub("<icon src=[^>]*>",""); print }

Hope This Helps, PH.
