Hi experts.

In one thread i have asked you how to grep the string from the below sample file-

Unfortunately the script did not gave proper output (it missed many strings). It happened may be i did gave you the proper contents of the file

That was the script-
"$ perl -00nle'print join "\n", /<fullOperation>(.*?):.*<fullResult>(.*?);/s' filename.txt"

Now for you convinience i paste contents here from the begining of the file-

Output of the below file would be-

CREATE
RESP:-3010

DELETE
RESP:0

CREATE
RESP:911364896

GET
RESP:0

SET
RESP:911265678

below commands I run. But not getting the proper output. However, it takes 3 minutes for 35MB file. But i have 900MB file

egrep '<fullOperation>DELETE|<fullOperation>SET|<fullOperation>CREATE|<fullOperation>GET|<fullResult>RESP '

Ouput was-

<fullOperation>GET:ESUB:MDN,989371072136;</fullOperation>
<fullResult>RESP:0:MDN,989371072136:CODE,432350022011344:LASTNAME,989371072136:FIRSTNAME,2008-11-08_16_10:COUNTRY,IR:LANG,fa:PRE,1:SUBNAME,Eserve:MMS,0;</fullResult>
<fullResult>RESP:0;</fullResult>
<fullResult>RESP:0;</fullResult> --> Resp: comes twice

Output should be-
GET
Resp:0

Yes,
the sample data in the previous threat was different (I was assuming tags separated by blank(empty) lines).
Try this:

Oaoo Greate its working. I want to put the Output in the files.

i ran it like below. But output.txt contains few string which is not matched with original output in my screen

perl -nle'BEGIN {$/="</log>";$,="\n";$\="\n\n"} print /<fullOperation>(.*?):.*<fullResult>(.*?:.*?)[:;]/s' 2008-11-11.0.log > output.txt

This is strange, could you post an example of those strings?

Opss i really sorry buddy.. It worked. In fact i put the wrong filename.

Anyway, i hope i can put 'N' number of filenames with the perl script.

perl -nle'BEGIN {$/="</log>";$,="\n";$\="\n\n"} print /<fullOperation>(.*?):.*<fullResult>(.*?:.*?)[:;]/s' logfile1 logflie2...logfileN

You can.
