If you REALLY, REALLY want to use awk, I guess you can
do somthing like...

Code:
#!/bin/sh
awk '/<Number>/ {stp=index($0,">")+1; \
newstr=substr($0,stp); \
etp=index(newstr,"<")-1; \
print substr(newstr,0,etp); \
}' test.xml

...the test.xml data file is...

Code:
<String>one</String>
<Number>two</Number>
<String>three</String>
<Number>four</Number>

... the awk program will output the "data" on the
"<Number>" lines only.

I hope this encourages you to look at Perl again. Smilie
