grep a string in the lines between 2 strings of a file
Hi ,
Please help me with the following problem:
I have an xml file with the following lines
Code:
<cisco:name>
  <cisco:mdNm>Cisco Device 7500 A Series</cisco:mdNm>
  <cisco:meNm>10.1.100.19</cisco:meNm>
  <cisco:ehNm>/shelf=1</cisco:ehNm>
      <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco PortA Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort B Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
           <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco PortAB Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort AB Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
</cisco:name>
<cisco:name>
  <cisco:mdNm>Cisco Device 7500B Series</cisco:mdNm>
  <cisco:meNm>10.1.100.20</cisco:meNm>
  <cisco:ehNm>/shelf=2</cisco:ehNm>
      <cisco:subname>
         <cisco:sptp>Cisco Port B Series</cisco:sptp>
         <cisco:aliasNameList xsi:nil="true"/>
         <cisco:owner xsi:nil="true"/>
                      <cisco:subportname>
                 <cisco:cpt>Cisco SubPort B Series</cisco:cpt>
                 <cisco:aliasNamesubList xsi:nil="true"/>
                 <cisco:userLabel xsi:nil="true"/>
               </cisco:subportname>
       </cisco:subname>
</cisco:name>

In My code it will first check the two strings <cisco:name> and </cisco:name> and after that it will grep the count of <cisco:cpt>. and so on continue till the end of file


Code:
#!/bin/sh
sed '/<\/cisco:name>/{G;}' test.xml >temp 

nawk 'BEGIN{RS=""} 
{ 
grep -c '<cisco:cpt>' print 


}' temp 
rm temp

this code is not giving the the op as
in first<cisco:name> and </cisco:name> loop it should give 2 then for next it would 1

plz help

       executed:

WARNINGS

       always  returns	true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
       always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see

       machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems.  Decisions should  be  based	on
       the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
