How to add record separator after certain lines?

I am faicing issue where some lines have result as successive line & some are not having. how can I add record separator after every record
here is example of data I have (line numbers are not present in data):
1. <enabled="true" name="dSuite1" dSuitei.x">
2. <name="simu" value="none"/>
3. <enabled="true" name="schekry1" schekry1y.x">
4. <enabled="true" name="schekry2" schekry2y.x">
5. <enabled="true" name="sptad1" sptad.x">
6. <name="simu" value="on"/>
7. <enabled="true" name="schekry3" schekry3y.x">

1st line has result as 2nd line but 3rd & 4th line are single

I want it like:

<enabled="true" name="dSuite1" beaVodSuiteCli.x">
<name="simu" value="none"/>
------------------
<enabled="true" name="schekry1" schekry1y.x">
------------------
<enabled="true" name="schekry2" schekry2y.x">
------------------
<enabled="true" name="sptad1" sptad.x">
<name="simu" value="on"/>
------------------
<enabled="true" name="schekry3" schekry3y.x">

Code:

awk 'NR==1{print;next}/<enabled/{print "-------"}1' file

Regards

I tried
awk 'NR==1 { print$0 ; next }/<enabled/{ print "-------" }'

but it just prints like(couple of time):
-------
-------
-------

No record is diaplayed at all in between the lines.

Compare your code with what I've post.

Regards

Your code
awk 'NR==1{print;next}/<enabled/{print "-------"}1'

I tried this too but same thing. only 1st record is printed then ------- (btw 1 at end is unexpected)

Eg.
>less abc.txt | awk 'NR==1{print;next}/<enabled/{print "-------"}'
>Record1
-------
-------
-------

Please have a look

Wrong, the 1 means "print the current record".

This is what I get:

Code:

$ cat file
<enabled="true" name="dSuite1" dSuitei.x">
<name="simu" value="none"/>
<enabled="true" name="schekry1" schekry1y.x">
<enabled="true" name="schekry2" schekry2y.x">
<enabled="true" name="sptad1" sptad.x">
<name="simu" value="on"/>
<enabled="true" name="schekry3" schekry3y.x">
$
$
$ awk 'NR==1{print;next}/<enabled/{print "-------"}1' file
<enabled="true" name="dSuite1" dSuitei.x">
<name="simu" value="none"/>
-------
<enabled="true" name="schekry1" schekry1y.x">
-------
<enabled="true" name="schekry2" schekry2y.x">
-------
<enabled="true" name="sptad1" sptad.x">
<name="simu" value="on"/>
-------
<enabled="true" name="schekry3" schekry3y.x">
$
$
