sed extract from xml
I have an xml file that generally looks like this:
Code:
"<row><dnorpattern>02788920</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>\+
44146322XXXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>40[6-9]XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>11</dn
orpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>9710</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>755.XXXXX</dnorpattern><desc
ription/></row><row><dnorpattern>00</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>02754115</dnorpattern><description/></row><ro
w><dnorpattern>456XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>\+44551665XXXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>02785XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>99999</dnorpattern><description/></row>"

I want to extract all the dnorpatterns here and am very close with this:
Code:
sed -n -e 's/.*<dnorpattern>\(.*\)<\/dnorpattern>.*/\1/p'

This grabs the dnorpattern but I am only getting the last one.
I think it's actually grabbing them all but overwritting with each new instance so I only end up with the last instance in the file.
I think I need to use i or a here somewhere but I can't quite figure out where to put it.

How would I add a new line after each instance in the output stream so that I get all instances listed?

This should get your job done. I dont know it in sed though.

Code:
perl -0lne 's/\n//g;print "$1\n" while (/<dnorpattern>(.*?)<\/dnorpattern>/g)'

input

try..
Code:
sed 's/<\/dnorpattern>/& \n/g' inputfile | sed 's/.*<\(dnorpattern>\)\(.*\)<.*/\2/'

Note that the \+ will be turned in + :

Code:
# paste -sd"\0" yourfile.xml | sed 's:"::g;s/<[^>]*>/ /g' | xargs -n1
02788920
+44146322XXXX
40[6-9]XXX
11
9710
755.XXXXX
00
02754115
456XXX
+44551665XXXX
02785XXX
99999

A more generic solution

Code:
# paste -sd"\0" yourfile.xml | sed 's:"::g;s/dnorpattern/#/g;s/<[^#]*>//g;s:</#>[^>]*<#>: :g;s:</*#>::g' | tr ' ' '\n'
02788920
\+44146322XXXX
40[6-9]XXX
11
9710
755.XXXXX
00
02754115
456XXX
\+44551665XXXX
02785XXX
99999
