Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello I am facing a scenario where I have a file with XML content and I am running shell script over it. But the problem is the XML is getting updated with new services. In the below scenario, my script takes values from the xml file from one service name say ABCD. Since there are multiple, it is erroring out.

<service name="ABCD">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<settings>
<setting name="Process Archive">
</setting>
</settings>
...
...
...
</service>
<service name="EFGH">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<settings>
<setting name="Process Archive">
</setting>
</settings>
...
...
...
</service>
<service name="IJKL">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<settings>
<setting name="Process Archive">
</setting>
</settings>
...
...
...
</service>

I need help in breaking the XML file into separate files. I need it to be
<service name="ABCD">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<settings>
<setting name="Process Archive">
</setting>
</settings>
...
...
...
</service>
I am using sed to break it, but the problem is, we don't know the service name "ABCD" to be used in the script and I am not able to find a string to dynamically get from <service to </service>.

Really appreciate your ideas..Thanks

Code:

awk '{ 
       if( $1 == "<service" ) 
       { 
           n=split($2,arr,"\""); 
           file=arr[n-1]".txt"
       }
       print > file }' inputfile

Hello Anbu,
I didn't understand the code you gave, so I wasn't able to know what the error I am getting when I exactly ran what you gave me.
Can you please look into it and help me out...
awk: cmd. line:5: file=arr[n-1]".txt
awk: cmd. line:5: ^ unterminated string

awk '{
> if( $1 == "<service" )
> {
> n=split($2,arr,"\"");
> file=arr[n-1]".txt
> }
> print > file }' temp_1029.txt

Please help...Thanks

Try to add a space between ] and "

Code:

file=arr[n-1] ".txt"

I still get the same error ??

awk '{
> if ( $1 == "<bw" )
> {
> n=split($2,arr,"\"");
> file=arr[n-1] ".txt
> }
> print > file }' temp_1030.txt
awk: cmd. line:5: file=arr[n-1] ".txt
awk: cmd. line:5: ^ unterminated string

I figured out..
there needs to be a space in the split command...
n=split($2,arr,"\"");
--> n=split($2, arr, ,"\"");

Thanks guys..

file=arr[n-1] ".txt"
You missed the double quotes
