Try this...

Code:
awk -F">" '/oftware.com\/tomboy\/size/{x=$NF;f=1;next} /note-content/{f=0;print x;x=""} {if(f==1)x=x" "$0;}'  input_file

I did this with awk version and did not get the uninstall after audacity from previous post. I tried it on all my notes and same issue missing entries.
Code:
awk -F">" '/oftware.com\/tomboy\/size/{x=$NF;getline;getline;x=x" "$0;}/note-content/{print x;x=""}' *.note /dev/null >> filedump

ah didn't see previous note before my send. Will try this.

---------- Post updated at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:18 PM ----------
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
#This is one line above. Not in actual file
<note version="0.3"  xmlns:link="http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/link"  xmlns:size="http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/size"  xmlns="http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy"><title>A installer au  menu</title><text xml:space="preserve"><note-content  version="0.1" xmlns:link="http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/link"  xmlns:size="http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/size">To install in  menu
#This is one line above. Not in actual file

#This is one line above. Not in actual file

#This is one line above. Not in actual file
audacity
#This is one line above. Not in actual file

#This is one line above. Not in actual file
uninstsall
#This is one line above. Not in actual file
</note-content>
#This is one line above. Not in actual file

Ok, this line
Code:
/tomboy/size">To install in  menu

is always the ending part of the 3rd line including the title of the note.
After it could be as many lines depending of content and always ending note entries with
Code:
</note-content>

Note though, in some instances there is no carriage return after the last note entry. The command I tried with awk left out the last line if no carriage return!

I am trying to understand the command but, I'm having difficulty understanding some parts.

I'm using Awk - A Tutorial and Introduction - by Bruce Barnett
this site to get to know the functions of the command.

Anyway thanks for your generous help

Try this...
Code:
awk -F"<|>" '/oftware.com\/tomboy\/size/{x=$NF;f=1;next} /note-content/{f=0;print x" "$1;x=""} {if(f==1)x=x" "$0;}' input_file

Yeah, you got it!

Did all the notes and worked like a charm.
I'll still have to look at it closer so I can understand how this thing works. Awk is not easy to learn but with examples like this I should get a grip on it.

Thanks ahamed101

awk -F"<|>"
'/oftware.com\/tomboy\/size/{x=$NF;f=1;next}
caught exception oftware/tomboy/size then x= last field -F"<|> field is after one of those


/note-content/{f=0;print x" "$1;x=""}
check if end of content, if yes print first field, if no goto if


{if(f==1)x=x" "$0;}' Not note-content then print whole line
if yes print first field only

Is that right ?
