NEED HELP (AWK or anything that would work)

Hi guys, heres my first post.....

Input.txt:
<abc a=""
b=""
c=""
>
<error x=""
y=""
z=""
/>
</abc>

<abc a=""
e=""
c=""
>
<error q=""
y=""
z=""
/>
</abc>

<abc
...
...
...
</abc>


Requirement:

I need to cut out individual <abc> .... </abc> and redirect them to files.
In this case I have 3 <abc> .... </abc>, so they should go in 3 seperate files.

If I use awk '/<abc/,/<\/abc>/' , it selects from first <abc to last </abc>....

Hope some one can help me with this....
