Hi rookie_2014,
The awk script RavinderSingh13 provided in message #2 in this thread did exactly what you asked for in message #1 in this thread.

The awk and sed script RavinderSingh13 provided in message #4 in this thread did exactly what you asked for in message #3 in this thread.

The sed and grep script RavinderSingh13 provdied in message #6 in this thread did exactly what you asked for in message #5 in this thread. (Although the ksh script:
Code:
variable='ValueToBePrinted'
printf '%s\n' "$variable"

would have done the same thing and would be much simpler.)

The fact that the testfile.xml file that you provided in message #5 in this thread is COMPLETELY different from the sample file your that provided in message #1 in this thread and the fact that you have given no logic as to why data between XML <LoanIdentifier> and </LoanIdentifier> tags containing the string ValueToBePrinted should be selected and printed instead of the values 121315 and 12345 (which also appear between the same tags in testfile.xml) tells us that you either don't understand your assignment or haven't looked at you sample input enough to be able to describe what you're trying to do.

Is this a homework assignment?

What are you really trying to do?
  1. Are you trying to print data found in LoanIdentifier tags in your XML file?
  2. Are you trying to verify that there is data for a LoanIdentifier tag in your XML file that has the vaue ValueToBePrinted?
  3. Are you trying to verify that data for any tag in your XML file has the value ValueToBePrinted?

It is really hard for us to help you if you won't clearly explain what you are trying to do. And, it is even harder if the sample input you show us is not representative of the actual input you will be processing!

hwloc-assembler

HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1)						       hwloc							HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1)

NAME

       hwloc-assembler - Assemble multiple XML topologies

SYNOPSIS

       hwloc-assembler [options] output.xml [--name <name1>] input1.xml [--name <name2>] input2.xml ...

OPTIONS

       -n --name <name>
	      Set <name> in the AssemblerName info attribute of the next input topology root to ease identification within the final global topol-
	      ogy.

       -f --force
	      Ignore errors while reading input files.

       -v --verbose
	      Verbose messages.

DESCRIPTION

       hwloc-assembler combines the input XML topologies and exports the resulting global topologies to a new XML file.  All inputs are  inserting
       as children of the global root object.  Each input topology root is annotated with info attributes before insertion.  AssemblerIndex is set
       to the index within the list of inputs.	AssemblerName is set to the name given with --name if any.  hwloc-assembler-remote offers a  fron-
       tend for assembling remote nodes topologies without having to manually gather and transfer each of them.

EXAMPLES

       To assemble two nodes topologies:

	   $ hwloc-assembler output.xml --name host1 host1.xml --name host2 host2.xml

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful execution, hwloc-assembler returns 0.

       hwloc-assembler will return nonzero if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to parse the command line.
