You did not modify Scrutinizer's code well. His code was as follows:

Code:

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '$0~"<"resp{sect=1} 
   sect{p=p (p?RS:x) $0} 
   $0~"<user>"user && sect{found=1} 
   $0~"</"resp{if(found)n=p;found=0;p=x;sect=0}
   END{print n}' resp=response2 user=user1 infile

This is setting a variable 'resp' to have the value 'response2', and variable 'user' to a string 'user1'. Do not change the code inside the single quotes, just change the "response2" to what is your response actually named. If you are hunting a section

Code:

<ListABCResp>
...
</ListABCResp>

, with user "user1", then you'd do:

Code:

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '$0~"<"resp{sect=1} 
   sect{p=p (p?RS:x) $0} 
   $0~"<user>"user && sect{found=1} 
   $0~"</"resp{if(found)n=p;found=0;p=x;sect=0}
   END{print n}' resp=ListABCResp user=user1 infile

However, I don't see why you would be getting "record too long" error... the code is appending to an internal variable. Have you tried to preprocess the file with the sed command and then pipe it to awk as suggested before?
