Search between two strings for multiple occurances
i search between two strings viz <app-deployment> & </app-deployment> and save the contents in a new file using the code snippet below.

Code:
sed -n "/<app-deployment/,/<\/app-deployment>/p" deploy.tmp >found1.tmp

But if the search string apprears more than once in the file then how can i store the text between each occurance in a seperate file ?

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>
Thus, i need the below to go in found1.tmp
Quote:
<app-deployment>
<name>cert</name>
<target>CS1</target>
<module-type>war</module-type>
</app-deployment>
and the below to go in found2.tmp

Quote:
<app-deployment>
<name>cert</name>
<target>CS1</target>
<module-type>war</module-type>
</app-deployment>

Hello mohtashims,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps.
Code:
awk '/<app-deployment>/{A=1;++i} A{;print >> "found"i".tmp"}'  Input_file

Output files will be as follows.
Code:
cat found2.tmp
<app-deployment>
<name>Security</name>
<target>CS2</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
</app-deployment>
  
cat found1.tmp
<app-deployment>
<name>cert</name>
<target>CS1</target>
<module-type>war</module-type>
</app-deployment>

Thanks,
R. Singh
