So, the UNIX script should extract the Header, the entire rows that contain 'Belgian' and 'American' and the Footer and put them in a new XML file. The list with the searched strings is provided through a separate Input file. I hope I managed to create a clear requirement. Please let me know if any extra information is needed.
What is the pathname of the "separate Input file"?
What is the format of the "separate Input file"?
What is the pathname of your "original XML file"?
What pathnames do you to be given to the output file (or files) that are to be created?
Show us a sample "separate Input file".
Show us the exact output file (or files) you want to create with the updated XML file you have provided in post #1 in this thread and the separate Input file that you will provide.

And, PLEASE, use CODE tags when displaying all sample input files, all sample output files, and all sample code segments!

update-xmlcatalog

UPDATE-XMLCATALOG(8)						     xml-core						      UPDATE-XMLCATALOG(8)

NAME

       update-xmlcatalog - maintain XML catalog files

SYNOPSIS

       update-xmlcatalog --add --root --package package --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --del --root --package package --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --add --package package --local local --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --del --package package --local local --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --add --local local --file file --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --del --local local --file file --type type --id id

       update-xmlcatalog --help

DESCRIPTION

       update-xmlcatalog add entries to and removes entries from the root XML catalog file, a package XML catalog file or a local XML catalog
       file.

OPTIONS

       --add
	   Adds the entry to the root XML catalog file, a package XML catalog file or a local XML catalog file.  If the XML catalog file does not
	   exist yet, it is automatically created.

       --del
	   Deletes the entry from the root XML catalog file, the package XML catalog file or the local XML catalog file.  A resulting empty XML
	   catalog is not automatically deleted from the filesystem.

       --file file
	   Indicates a local filename.

       --id id
	   Indicates the XML catalog file entry identifier.

       --local local
	   Indicates a local XML catalog file.

       --package package
	   Indicates a package XML catalog file.

       --root
	   Indicates the root XML catalog file.

       --type type
	   Indicates the XML catalog file entry type (public, system, uri).

       --help
	   Displays the usage information.

NOTES

       update-xmlcatalog is the de-facto standard tool to be used to maintain XML catalog files on a Debian system, similar to that
       update-catalog(8) is the standard tool to be used to main SGML catalog files on a Debian system.  A Debian XML Policy document to this
       effect is currently under development.

       update-xmlcatalog and xmlcatalog(1) are incompatible.  The former has an internal database of all the entries in all the XML catalog files
       it maintains and regenerates the indicated XML catalog file completely from scratch upon an update.  The latter updates the indicated XML
       catalog file directly.  This means that any change made to an XML catalog file using xmlcatalog(1) is overwritten the next time that XML
       catalog file is updated using update-xmlcatalog.
