linux_lou · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2009

I need a commnad to modify a file's contents from:

2009-06-18 14:14:38 CST INF Thread-114 rlo.aaf_ - MASSHANDLE: Got a valid message<Location=""><bob>2</bob><carol>61</carol><ted>54</ted><alice>1m</alice>

to this :

2009-06-18 14:14:38 CST INF Thread-114 rlo.aaf_ - MASSHANDLE: Got a valid message<Location=""><bob>2</bob>
<carol>61</carol>
<ted>54</ted>
<alice>1m</alice>

Adding the CR (\n) after each </*> and preserving the contents of each field.

Thanks for any help!
