Need help parsing a file

Here is my file contents:

Quote:
more deploy.tmp
<app-deployment>
<name>cert</name>
<target>CS1</target>
<module-type>war</module-type>
</app-deployment>
<app-deployment>
<name>Security</name>
<target>CS2</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
</app-deployment>
I wish to generate <value-in-name-tag>.cfg which should contain entries like below
Quote:
more cert.cfg
APP_NAME=cert
MOD_TYPE=war
Quote:
more Security.cfg
APP_NAME=Security
MOD_TYPE=ear
Currently i am able to populate only what you see below.
Quote:
more cert.cfg
APP_NAME=cert
Quote:
more Security.cfg
APP_NAME=Security
How can i also populate
Quote:
MOD_TYPE
in the .cfg files ?

Below is my code so far:
Code:
 
grep -o '<name>.*</name>' deploy.tmp | sed 's/\(<name>\|<\/name>\)//g' | while IFS= read -r entry; do
echo "APP_NAME=$entry" > $entry.cfg
done

Hello mohtashims,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
awk -F"[><]" '/^<name>/{Q="";W=$3;getline;Q="APP_NAME=" W;getline;Q=Q?Q ORS "MOD_TYPE="$3:"MOD_TYPE="$3;getline;print Q > W;}'   Input_file

Output files will be as follows.
Code:
cat cert
APP_NAME=cert
MOD_TYPE=war
  
cat Security
APP_NAME=Security
MOD_TYPE=ear

EDIT: Adding a non-one liner form of same now.
Code:
awk -F"[><]" '/^<name>/{
                        Q="";
                        W=$3;
                        getline;
                        Q="APP_NAME=" W;
                        getline;
                        Q=Q?Q ORS "MOD_TYPE="$3:"MOD_TYPE="$3;
                        getline;
                        print Q > W;
                       }
             '   Input_file

Thanks,
R. Singh
