Should work.

I put your xml into a file and this what I got:

Code:
sed -n 's/.*saw:user name="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p' <myfile.xml
mbussey@xyz.com
kimmy.chan@pqr.com
chudgins@gmail.com

(I'm just using the simple case of one pattern)

And modified to add the email code tags:

Code:
sed -n 's/.*saw:user name="\([^"]*\).*/[email]\1\[\/email]/p' <myfile.xml
[email]mbussey@xyz.com[/email]
[email]kimmy.chan@pqr.com[/email]
[email]chudgins@gmail.com[/email]

Note: on the unix forums the "bbcode" like tags are interpreted... so you won't see the email tags come out here.

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment You can use the NP button to create tags (or [NOPARSE]...[/NOPARSE] tags) to stop interpretation of other tags between them.

NAME
ttx2xgf - extracts instructions from a TTX file and creates an Xgridfit program. SYNOPSIS
ttx2xgf [options] infile[.ttx] [outfile] DESCRIPTION
ttx2xgf is a utility that extracts instructions (hints) and other information relating to instructions from a TTX file (an XML representa- tion of a TrueType font) and creates a new Xgridfit program. If infile lacks the .ttx extension, it is assumed. If outfile is not given, output is written to infile.xgf. OPTIONS
--config Path to a configuration file (relative paths are permitted). If this is not given, ttx2xgf will look first for a file config.xml in the current directory, next in the user's Xgridfit configuration directory, and finally in the Xgridfit base directory. -e Display diagnostic messages (for debugging). -E, --elapsed-time Time the running of this program and display the result. --processor=libxslt|lxml|xsltproc|saxon-6|saxon-9|xalan-j|xalan-c|4xslt Select a preferred XSLT processsor; ttx2xgf will use this one if possible. FILES
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-ttx.xsl An XSLT script that performs the initial conversion. /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-asm.sed A Sed script that completes the conversion. SEE ALSO
