Extracting content from xml file
Hello All,

Hope you are doing well!!!!!

I have a small code in the below format in xml file:
Code:
<UML:ModelElement.taggedValue>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0231X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_0021"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0232X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_ijkl"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0345X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_05762X;HLD_DOORS_aasja"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>

</UML:ModelElement.taggedValue>

I want to export the tags starts with HLD_EA and HLD_DOORS.
These tags are only visible in these lines

Code:
<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0231X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_0021"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0232X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_ijkl"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0345X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_05762X;HLD_DOORS_aasja"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;HLD_EA_0001X&#xA;HLD_DOORS_002X"/>

Now i want to feed this tags in to one excel sheet/any file type:

My file shall looks like this:

HLD_EA_0001X HLD_DOORS_002X
HLD_EA_0231X HLD_DOORS_003X HLD_DOORS_0021
HLD_EA_0232X HLD_DOORS_003X HLD_DOORS_ijkl


Can you please help me out how to write this script?

Thanks,
Suvendu

I am not an expert of shell scripting
But this is my approach

Code:
sed -n '/<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence&#xA;&#xA;"[HLD]/,/<\/Variable>/{
s/.*=\("[^"]*"\).*/\1/
t prnt
b
:prnt
p
}' file

Code:
grep "documentation" file | grep -o -E "HLD_[0-9a-zA-Z_]+"

Thanks a lot for your reply.....

The script works fine......

Code:
<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0001X
HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0231X
HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_0021"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0232X
HLD_DOORS_003X;HLD_DOORS_ijkl"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0345X
HLD_DOORS_05762X;HLD_DOORS_aasja"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0001X
HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0001X
HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0001X
HLD_DOORS_002X"/>
				<UML:TaggedValue tag="documentation" value="This sequence

HLD_EA_0001X
HLD_DOORS_002X"/>

In the above code i want to extract the content in to an excel file:
Ex: My excel file shall looks like below:---


Code:
1st Column in Excel      2nd Column in Excel 
HLD_EA_0001X           HLD_DOORS_002X
HLD_DOORS_003X       HLD_DOORS_003X
                          HLD_DOORS_0021
HLD_EA_0232X           HLD_DOORS_003X
                          HLD_DOORS_ijkl


Hope you have understood my question.

I donot know whether it is possible in shell script or not.But as per my knowledge it is possible in perl script.Give your idea and suggestions.

Code:
perl -ne 'if (/documentation/){while(/(HLD_\w+)/g){print "$1"};print "\n"}' file

And yes, you may use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to write to an xls file.
