i mean to say the the number of lines in between <template_file name="Approve External" path="core/approve/bin"> and </template_file> is increasing,
the lines between <template_file ="township engagement" path="core/sanj/bills" and </template_file> is increasing
and also lines in between <template_file ="Workflow" path="core/sanj"> and </template_file> is also increasing.
The branch value is not fixed ,it can be be devAREA or upgrade_test dev4 ordev36 ordev05 or mandsmoney or anything as per requirment

i mean to say the the number of lines in between <template_file name="Approve External" path="core/approve/bin"> and </template_file> is increasing,
the lines between <template_file ="township engagement" path="core/sanj/bills" and </template_file> is increasing
and also lines in between <template_file ="Workflow" path="core/sanj"> and </template_file> is also increasing.
The branch value is not fixed ,it can be be devAREA or upgrade_test dev4 ordev36 ordev05 or mandsmoney or anything as per requirment
My aim is to check whether the string <branch value="/devarea/" include="yes"></branch> is present in
1)between <template_file name="Approve External" path="core/approve/bin"> and </template_file>
If it persent then how many times it is present in each case.
2)between <template_file ="Workflow" path="core/sanj"> and </template_file>
If it persent then how many times it is present in each case.
3)between <template_file ="township engagement" path="core/sanj/bills" and </template_file>
If it persent then how many times it is present in each case.
Please do reply how to write shellscript for this
