Difficult to do true parsing without some sort of tool (that's not part of Linux/Unix normally).

For very specific cases it might work to glean out what you want though (all depends on the input).

So...if we assume it's like what you mentioned and the data is all on one line, etc.. then you could filter the data with:

Code:
sed -n 's/.*saw:user name="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p'

But it assumes pretty formatted XML.

Pod::WSDL::Writer(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Pod::WSDL::Writer(3pm)

NAME
Pod::WSDL::Writer - Writes XML output for Pod::WSDL (internal use only) SYNOPSIS
use Pod::WSDL::Writer; my $wr = new Pod::WSDL::Writer(pretty => 1, withDocumentation => 1); DESCRIPTION
This module is used internally by Pod::WSDL. By using AUTOLOADing it delegates all unknown methods to XML::Writer. It is unlikely that you have to interact directly with it. If that is the case, take a look at the code, it is rather simple. METHODS
new Instantiates a new Pod::WSDL::Writer. The method can take two parameters "pretty" with a true value triggers pretty printing of the WSDL output. "withDocumentation" with a true value produces a WSDL docuemnt containing documentation for types and methods. wrNewLine Has XML::Writer write a newline wrElem Has XML::Writer write an Element. The first argument is one of (empty|start|end), to write an empty element, a start or an end tag. The second argument signifies the name of the tag. All further arguments are attributes of the tag (does not work, when first argument is 'end') wrDoc Writes the string passed to the method as a <wsdl:documentation> Element registerWrittenFaultMessage There needs to be only one fault message per fault type. Here the client class can register fault types already written. The fault name is passed as the single argument to this method. faultMessageWritten Counterpart to registerWrittenFaultMessage. The client can ask if a fault message has already written. The fault name is passed as the single argument to this method. output Returns XML output. EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES
