Selecting patterns from the results of grep
Hi All,

I'm struggling with a problem that I'm wondering (and hoping!) that someone can help me with.

I have a number of .xml files which I'm using grep to search for the string 'include'. I need to extract the value of the include from the grep result.

For example, on any given file, I use 'grep -i include=' which returns:
<li include="NX">threadpool environment.....

In this example, I need to strip out the 'NX'. Ultimately, I need anything that is present between "" and follows 'include='.

These patterns can occur anywhere in the file. Unfortunately, my limited knowledge of sed and awk is proving insufficient to progress.

Thanks in Advance.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
