Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting To search for a particular tag in xml and collate all similar tag values and display them count Post 302911044 by Chubler_XL on Tuesday 29th of July 2014 05:45:36 PM

OK I'll give it a whirl:

Firstly I'll break it into multiple lines for ease of reading:

Code:
awk -F'[><]' '
NF {
  c[$5]++
  d[$5] = d[$5] ? d[$5] ORS $0 : $0
}
END{
   for(i in d)
      print i ": (count - " c[i] ")" RS d[i] RS
}' file

NF { examine lines that have 1 or more fields (ie non-blank lines).

-F'[><]' This argument to awk sets your field separator to < or > awk will split the line up on these characters and assign each field to $1 thru $n.

So for <xml><object1>house</object1><object2>child</object2>

we get:
Code:
$1 = ""
$2 = "xml"
$3 = ""
$4 = "object1"
$5 = "house"
$6 = "/object1"

c[$5]++ creates a associative array c[] with field #5 as the key and increments the value (c[house]=c[house]+1) so it's a count of the number of times each tag appears.

d[$5] = d[$5] ? d[$5] ORS $0 : $0 if d[$5] is not null/blank then append ORS (output record separator which is newline in this case) and while input line to it; otherwise assign it to the whole input line.

The END block goes through all the keys in the d[] array and prints the key count followed by all input lines that contain that key (value of the d[] array element).

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
