After more than 100 posts, we would hope that you are starting to learn from the help the volunteers here have provided on your earlier questions.

What code have you written to try to solve this...

Please use code tags as required by forum rules!

Any attempts/ideas/thoughts from your side? Your strategy is not too clear. Why the "two script" approach? Why a .sh (shell) script to be called...

Yet again: Show the input you have, and show the output you want.

Show representative, input and representative output, which have something to do with each other.

We can't tell what you're...

I'm glad to hear that I understood part of your original requirements.

Does the code I suggested work for you?

What do you consider to be duplicated text? If I didn't guess correctly, please...

There wasn't any duplicate text in your sample input file. And, it isn't clear if you want to remove text that is duplicated or if you want to remove text along with the opening and closing XML...

You're rigth. Please use instead.


awk 'BEGIN{RS=">\n"} NF>=8{print $0">"}' file

Hi my_Perl,

You can try:
awk 'BEGIN{RS=">\n"} NF>=8{print}' file
Regards

What operating system and shell are you using?

What have you tried?

Your request is by no means clear, and the sample doesn't help. Do I read it correct that you want to reduce the number of spaces between any non-space chars by one? Trysed 's/ \( *\)/\1/g' file

Did you use <space><TAB>|<TAB><space> in the sub call?

But, I found that even though that replaced your field separator patterns with single <TAB>s and fixed fields 1 and/or 2 by removing spaces,...

Hi.

I like awk scripts, but I also like generality, as long as it's not difficult or complicated. If the files are formatted nicely into lines as shown in the OP, then basic awk scripts are fine....

How about adding {sub (/ | /, "\t"); before splitting $2 in "SEARCH.TXT"?

In case you have text between tags on the same line as text with tags, you could also try:
awk '{gsub(/<[^>]*>/, "")}$0!=""' INPUT.TXT
Note that this code (and the code RavinderSingh13 suggested)...

Hello my_Perl,

You could try following for same.

awk '($0 !~ /</ && $0 !~ />/)' Input_file
Output will be as follows.

Relative Size Capital

The first para consists of this...

sed -e ':L' -e '/\./{p;d;}' -e 's/^ //' -e 'N;s/\n/ /;bL'

Ah git it!!

sed -e ':L' -e '/\./{p;d;}' -e 's/^ //' -e 'N;s/\n/ /;bL'

Will do the trick!

If there is . then print, delete and next cycle.

I apologize for the bug, I had a variable naming conflict.

$ awk -f xml.awk -e '(TAGS ~ /^TEXT/) {
printf("{{Text_ID=%s}}{{From=%s}}\n",ARGS["TEXT_ID"],ARGS["FROM"]);

Here is my generic XML script which I use for such things...

$ cat xml.awk

BEGIN {
FS=">"; OFS=">";
RS="<"; ORS="<"

I see you've updated it and made them different... but you've only made it MORE confusing, since the output ignores the different text from file 2 and just uses the XML. What, exactly, is file 2...

Are you really just parsing/filtering the first file? Or did I miss something?

The two files seem to have an awful lot in common... what is the second file really needed for?

I am missing something...
There is no use_code="xxxx"> but use_count="xxxx"> instead.
I assume this is a typo, if so take care as it throws the rest of us...
What have you tried so far?
How...

Or try:
grep -Ff file2 file1
But, as RudiC said, it is ALWAYS a good idea to tell us what OS and shell you're using when you post questions here. ;)
