Use the sed command you already have and pipe it to awk -F\| '{print $1|$2|$8}'. The result should be <JOB|NAME=XXXXXX|</JOB

I tried pipe to awk -F\| '{print $1|$2|$8}'. The result is NOT <JOB|NAME=XXXXXX|</JOB.

The initial sed output shows like this which is OK and I can import into excel:
<JOB|APPLICATION="ABCD"|APR="1"|AUG="1"|AUTHOR="REGAL"|...|</JOB|

I am now trying to get the following output whereby only the 2nd field "ABCD", "1", "1", "REGAL" ..etc is the output
<JOB|"ABCD"|"1"|"1"|"REGAL"|...|<JOB|

Another way

Code:
 awk '$0~/<\/JOB/?ORS="\n":ORS="|" ' file > newfile
