Parse an XML task list to create each task.xml file
I have an task definition listing xml file that contains a list of tasks such as

Code:
<TASKLIST
    <TASK definition="Completion date" id="Taskname1" Some other 
         <CODE name="Code12" 
               <Parameter pname="Dog" input="5.6" units="feet" etc /Parameter>
               <Parameter pname="Cat" input="cute" units="NA"      /Parameter>
          /CODE>
     /TASK>
<TASK definition="Completion date" id="Taskname2" Some other 
         <CODE name="Code3" 
          /CODE>
         <CODE name="Code2" 
           /CODE>
     /TASK>
/TASKLIST>

I need to parse the task list into seperate task xml files starting from the <TASK tag to the /TASK> tag using the TASK id for the *.xml name.

I have written a grep command to capture all id names and then a sed command along with another grep command to clean up everything except the id leaving me with a list of just Task id names. My code is not eloquant, but works.

Now I am stuck. Please help. I am a novice at Unix scripting.
