    Err.... What language are you programming in?

    I mean in Bash scripting it would just be something like:

    echo -e "<XML>\n <rootmo>\n" $PATH "</rootmo> \n</XML>" >> xml_file.xml

    Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do, OS, language, etc.?

    EDIT: I put $PATH in instead of $ROOTMO, just because on my system $PATH returned something $ROOTMO did not.
