XML parsing with a variable
I have the following XML

Code:
 
<Audit_Type>1</Audit_Type><Session_Id>34505863</Session_Id>
<StatementId>1</StatementId><EntryId>1</EntryId>
<Extended_Timestamp>2012-03-06T10:25:20.789459</Extended_Timestamp>
<DB_User>KASINIY</DB_User>
<OS_User>majohn1</OS_User><OS_Process>28636</OS_Process>
<Terminal>CAIRVNBIS01</Terminal><Instance_Number>0</Instance_Number>
<Action>100</Action><TransactionId>0000000000000000</TransactionId><Returncode>0</Returncode><Comment_Text>Authenticated by: DATABASE; Client address: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.10.10.10)(PORT=4600))</Comment_Text><Priv_Used>5</Priv_Used>

Can somebody give me a SED/AWK statement that I can use to get
a spefic value.

To be efficient I would like the assign the value of a tag into a variable
and than use the variable in the parsing staement.

Ie

var=OS_User
sed $var .......

In addition, I may have 1 or many of these records in my file.

I may want to get the first, last or all occurances of $var

Thanks in advance to all who answer

cgi::xml

XML(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  XML(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::XML;
	 $q = new CGI::XML;

	 # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
	 $xml = $q->toXML;
	 $xml = $q->toXML($root);

	 # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
	 $q->toCGI($xml);

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

       CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.

METHODS

       $q = new CGI::XML
	   creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm.

       $q->toXML([$root])
	   where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element.

       $q->toCGI($xml)
	   where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they
	   exist.

NOTE

       CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release.
