because you don't have GNU
this version works in Solaris "broken" awk
Code:
#!/bin/sh
awk '{
       a=index($0,"<LDATE>" )
       b=index($0,"</LDATE>")
       ldate=substr($0,a+length("<LDATE>"), b - length("</LDATE>") )
       c=index($0,"<LTIME>")
       d=index($0,"</LTIME>")
       ltime=substr($0,c+length("<LTIME>") , d-c-length("</LTIME>") )
       print ldate,ltime
       ## do LTEXT yourself.
}' file
