You still have 2 invocations of awk when you only need 1 and you still have too many braces in your 2nd awk script. Try changing:
to:
It should give you exactly the same results with a single awk instead of two awks piped together.
I've been wanting to merge the two awks into one, but have not been successful. This code does not make the program run as intended. It just gives a splash of ongoing text from the xml file.
The reason I used two awks is because the xml file has text that is all broken up between lines; I needed first to concatenate those lines into one line (only the ones of the key phrase), and then that line is easy to edit in the second awk; else, I would be having to edit one line of text between several lines, and that is beyond my knowledge at this point. If there is a way to first do one task (concatenate the text), and then do another (the rest of the text manipulation with that concatenated text), that would be great. I've tried several variations and have not been successful.
