awk - sed / reading from a data file and doing algebraic operations
Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a bash script which reads a data file and does some algebraic operations.
here is the structure of data.xml file that I have;

Code:
1 <data>
2 .
3 .
4 .
5 </data>
6 <data>
7 .
8 .
9 .
10</data>
etc.

Each data block contains same number of lines (say for example 5 lines)

Q1. How can I find the total number of data blocks in a given data file?

Q2. How can I assign that number to a variable which is going to be used on further lines?

thanks.

imaxdiv

NAME

       div(), ldiv(), lldiv(), imaxdiv() - integer division and remainder

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       Computes the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator
		      numer  by  the  denominator  denom.  If the division is inexact, the sign of the resulting quotient is that of the algebraic
		      quotient, and the magnitude of the resulting quotient is the largest integer less than the magnitude of the  algebraic  quo-
		      tient.   If the result can be represented, the result is returned in a structure of type (defined in having members quot and
		      rem for the quotient and remainder respectively.	Both members have type and values such that quot denom rem numer.  If  the
		      result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.

       Similar to     except  that  the arguments each have type and the result is returned in a structure of type (defined in having members quot
		      and rem for the quotient and remainder respectively.

       Similar to     except that the arguments each have type and the result is returned in a structure of type (defined in having  members  quot
		      and rem for the quotient and remainder respectively.

       Similar to     except  that  the arguments each have type and the result is returned in a structure of type (defined in having members quot
		      and rem for the quotient and remainder respectively.

WARNINGS

       Behavior is undefined if denom is zero.
