How to extract lines between tags into different files?
I have an xml file with the below data:
Code:
 
unix>Cat  address.xml
<Address City=”Amsterdam” 
Street = “station straat”
 ZIPCODE="2516 CK   " 
</Address>
<Address City=”Amsterdam” 
Street = “Leeuwen straat”
 ZIPCODE="2517 AB " 
</Address>
<Address City=”The Hauge” 
Street = “kirk straat”
 ZIPCODE="2273 VP " 
</Address>
<Address City=”The Hauge” 
Street = “grotemarkat”
 ZIPCODE="2331 VZ " 
</Address>

I would like to extract each Address into a temparory file, that means for above data I need to extract block of data between <Adress> and </Adress> into some temp1, temp2, temp3 and temp4.

Any suggestion, how to do this using perl or awk?

Thank you very much
