How can i break a text file into parts that occur between a specific pattern - Page 2

Franklin52 · #8 (**permalink**) 1 Week Ago

Code:

awk -F"[<>]" '/fileName/{f=$3".xml"}{print > f}' file

Explanation:

Code:

awk -F"[<>]"			# set fieldseparators
'/fileName/{f=$3".xml"}		# if current line contains fileName, change filename (field 3 ".xml")
{print > f}			# print file to filename
' file

Have a read of one of the awk tutorials here:

The job has been done, but the only thing left is that the xml that i sgetting generated is also having the filename tag

Can we generate the xmls starting from <<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>>

rather than <fileName>Name1</fileName> tag

This is required because the xml thus generated is getting corrupted because of that filename tag

Something like this?

Code:

awk -F"[<>]" '/fileName/{f=$3".xml";sub(".*fileName>","")}{print > f}' file
