Try:
Code:
# awk '/<\/filedata>/{f=0;printf "\n"}/^<filedata /{f=1}f{for (i=2;i<=NF-1;i++){gsub(/\".*|<.*/,"",$i);printf("%s#",$i)}}' FS='(=")|(>)' input

Thanks for your work,

i forgot to specify the unix version:

i work under AIX 5.3

and the awk gives no result , more exactly 2 blank lines

some differences with HP or linux ?

I get the correct result under HP-UX and Linux RH , try gawk if avaliable.

I don't have gawk on the system

somebody could test on AIX ?

what can be the problem ?

it seems to write blank at the place of data extracted
we have 2 lines so the separation with "fileledata" seems to work.

some ideas ?

regards
Christian
