SED: Extracting text between first occurance of foo in front of bar
Suppose I have a text file that contains the tags <foo> and <bar>. The text file can have unlimted occurances of <foo> and <bar> and looks somthing like this:
There is no set amount of times <foo> occurs before or after <bar>. In this example there are two occurrences before, but there could be more or less. The only unique identifier in the file is <bar> so the logic has to be based around it. My question is how do I write a SED function that extracts the text between <bar> and the <foo> above it?

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitAugmentedAssignmentInDeclaration - Do not write " my $foo .= 'bar'; ".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Variable declarations that also do initialization with '=' are common. Perl also allows you to use operators like '.=', '+=', etc., but it
it is more clear to not do so.
my $foo .= 'bar'; # same as my $foo = 'bar';
our $foo *= 2; # same as our $foo = 0;
my ( $foo, $bar ) += ( 1, 2 ); # same as my ( $foo, $bar ) = ( undef, 2 );
local $Carp::CarpLevel += 1; # same as local $Carp::CarpLevel = 1;
state $foo += 2; # adds 2 every time it's encountered
Such constructs are usually the result of botched cut-and-paste, and often are bugs. Some produce warnings.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
