Thanks Franklin, really appretiate it.
Also thanks to ghostdog74.

You guys rock....GOD bless.

PS: can u direct me to some documents that would help me understand awk and sed....???

Also @Franklin, can you explain in short wat u just did...
Sure.

Code:
awk '/<abc.*/{f=1;n++} 
/<\/abc>/{f=0;print $0 > n}
f{print $0 > n}' file

/<abc.*/{f=1;n++} -> If the line contains the expression, set the flag f and change the name of the file (n)

/<\/abc>/{f=0;print $0 > n} -> If the line contains the expression, unset the flag f and print the last line to file n

f{print $0 > n} -> Print the line if the flag is set to the file n


This is a good document to start with (buy it!):

sed & awk

Regards
