Code:
sed -n -r '/<Member/{N; s/<(Member)[[:space:]]+([[:alpha:]\.]+)[[:punct:]]+([[:alpha:]\.]+)[[:punct:]]\n([[:alpha:]\.]+)[[:punct:]]+(.*)[[:punct:]].*$/\1 \2,\3,\4,\5 /p}' file

Code:
sed -n -r '/<Member/{N; s/<(Member).*(name)="(.*)"\n(.*)="(.*)".*$/\1 \2,\3,\4,\5 /p}' file

The first one is tough to look at; I can follow along much more easily with the second.
Being a fairly simple data stream editor command, can't imagine a longer version that would make sense.

But I do like [: punct:] with it's large array of special characters.

I figure certain circumstances where the string sequence is difficult!? It would be appropriate in small doses.

Note that there is a HUGE difference between [[:punct:]] and [: punct:]! The first one is a bracket expression that will match any single character in the character class punct (i.e., a punctuation character in the current locale). The second is a bracket expression that will match a single <space>, <colon>, <c>, <n>, <p>, <t>, or <u> character.

Thanks Scrutinizer, This worked Smilie

I now have another set of lines

Code:
 <Member  name="ABC"
Consolidation="~"
DataStorage="DC"
Hierarchy="DB"
>
</Member>
<Member  name="000"
SharedMember="Y"
DataStorage="SD"
>
</Member>
<Member  name="20000"
DataStorage="ShareData"
>
</Member>
<Member  name="Total No_Org"
Consolidation="~"
DataStorage="DynamicCalc"
HierarchyType="Disabled"
>
</Member>
<Member  name="2000"
SharedMember="Y"
DataStorage="SD"
</Member>

based on the above code I need only Member name , followed by Datastorage . Eg

Code:
 Member name="ABC", DataStorage="DC"
Member name="000", DataStorage="SD"
.
.
 or
 ABC,DC
000,SD
.
.

Thanks again all, for your generous Help

Hello Dev,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
 awk -F"[ |=]" '/<Member/{sub(/</,X,$0);A=$0} /DataStorage/{A=A?A OFS $0:$0} /<\/Member>/{print A;A=""}' OFS=", "  Input_file

Output will be as follows.
Code:
  Member  name="ABC", DataStorage="DC"
Member  name="000", DataStorage="SD"
Member  name="20000", DataStorage="ShareData"
Member  name="Total No_Org", DataStorage="DynamicCalc"

Not removing the space in first line as shown above in output as per your shown output to us, also this code not considering the sequence of the strings which we are searching for like <Member and DataStorage. Hope this helps.


Thanks,
R. Singh

Code:
 awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
