How to read an Xml record contained in a file--urgent

Hi
I have an xml file which has multiple xml records..
I don't know how to read those records and pipe them to another shell command

the file is like

<abc>z<def>y<ghi>x........</ghi></def></abc> (1st record)
<jkl>z<mno>y<pqr>x........</pqr></mno></jkl> (2nd record)

Each record end with a "newline" character i belive but i am not able to see the newline character..
I used cat -vte command to view it

I am planning to grep the record by means of a common string
say "Z" found in all the records..

take the count of the number of records and then send each record by reading one at a time..and then pipe it to say a "sed" command...


Is there a mechanism...can somebody help out..


Thanks in advance!!!
