Code:

awk 'BEGIN { FS="[<>]";      OFS=",";s1="\""         }
# Single close-tag
(NF==3) && /^[ \t]*<[/]/        {
         $0=""
         if(!TITLE)      # Print a title line
        {
                for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     $N=T[N]
                print
                TITLE=1
        }
         for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     {       $N=s1 A[T[N]] s1;     delete A[T[N]]  }
        print 
         }
 $2 && $4 && ($2 == substr($4, 2)) {
        if(!T[$2]) { T[$2]=++L; T[L]=$2 }       # Save titles for later
        gsub(/^[ \t]*/, "", $3);                # Get rid of spaces in data
        gsub(/[ \t]*$/, "", $3);
        A[$2]=$3                                # Save for later
}'   Input_file

Output will be as follows.

Code:

workOrderCode,branchCode,demand,demandLineItem,priority,completionDate
"313194073","2021:1206","","","","2016-07-10T08:00:00"

Above has been tested with your provided Input_file, if you have more things to do then please mention into your post with complete details.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi,

When I use the above code it shows like below

Code:

awk -f jobxml.awk WorkOrders.xml

Code:

awk: jobxml.awk:1: awk 'BEGIN { FS="[<>]";      OFS=",";s1="\""         }
awk: jobxml.awk:1:     ^ invalid char ''' in expression

Thanks,
Viswa

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
