i just want to pass the fileNames.txt as a parameter file which contains 5 xml file-names.
just pass the file name one by one into your code and append the result in output.txt
otherwise you suggest how i can extract all elements and xpath of all xml files by one script.

do
awk 'BEGIN{f=0}
(/^<FORMINFO /){
		var="FORMINFO/";
		for(i=2;i<=NF;i++)
			{
				split($i,a,"=");
				print a[1]" /"var"@"a[1]
			}
		f=1;
		next
	}
(f==1){ n=split($0,a,"<|>");
	x=n-1;
	if(a[2] ~ /^\//)
		{
			
			if(a[2] ~ /FORMINFO/) f=0;
			sub(a[2],"",var);next
		};
	if(($0 !~ /\//))
		{	split(a[2],b,FS);
			var=substr(var,1)b[1]"/";next
		};
	split(a[2],b,FS);
	print b[1]" /" var b[1]
	
	}' $f_name
done < filename.txt

Thank you Raj,
if you get time kindly run your above code with my 5 xml files (attached in post#11) and txt file as parameter (attached in post#13).
when i run txt file through your last code i got many types of output there, where some output is matching with my expected result and some is totally difference. i guess there need to be a small modification in your code to get the proper result from that 5 xml files.
