Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,
i am new to unix,i have never worked on scripting and all,i am learning now and i have to write a script to compare two files.
The requirement is like : in the first file i am searching for a word and after i get that word i have to select everything from the rest of the file and redirect to some output file.the second part is to compare the output file with my second file.the second part is feasible for me to do,but i am facing problem to proceed with the first part,Could anyone help me.

For the first part you can use sed:

sed -n '/pattern/,$p' file

Hi all,thanks for ur help but i think i couldn't get what i needed.
Here is the sample file eg:abc.txt
<servergroup id="8">
<application value="OnlineDisputes"></application>
<minheap value="256"></minheap>
<maxheap value="512"></maxheap>
<httpport value="51058"></httpport>
<additionalcmdlineargs value="-DSLConfigFile=app_servicelocator.xml -verbosegc -Xss8m"/>
</servergroup>
<servergroup id="9">
<application value="Transfer"></application>
<minheap value="256"></minheap>
<maxheap value="512"></maxheap>
<httpport value="51059"></httpport>
<additionalcmdlineargs value="-DSLConfigFile=app_servicelocator.xml -verbosegc -Xrunheappro
file"/>
</servergroup>
<servergroup id="10">
<application value="INTLEStatement"></application>
<minheap value="256"></minheap>
<maxheap value="512"></maxheap>
<httpport value="51063"></httpport>
<additionalcmdlineargs value="-DSLConfigFile=app_servicelocator.xml -verbosegc
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m"/>
</servergroup>
</servergroup-info>
<clone-info>
<clone id="1">
<application value="EnterpriseServices"></application>
<cloneindex value="1"></cloneindex>
<node value="spdwa013"></node>
<httpport value="21050"></httpport>
<workingdir value="/tmp"></workingdir>
</clone>
<clone id="2">
<application value="GlobalMR"></application>
<cloneindex value="1"></cloneindex>
<node value="spdwa013"></node>
<httpport value="21051"></httpport>
<workingdir value="/tmp"></workingdir>
</clone>
<clone id="3">
<application value="GlobalUserManagement"></application>
<cloneindex value="1"></cloneindex>
<node value="spdwa013"></node>
<httpport value="21052"></httpport>
<workingdir value="/tmp"></workingdir>
</clone>
<clone id="4">
<application value="USAccountSummary"></application>
<cloneindex value="1"></cloneindex>
<node value="spdwa013"></node>
<httpport value="21053"></httpport>
<workingdir value="/tmp"></workingdir>
</clone>

In the above file i need to select everything below <clone-info>
and redirect it to an output file.
I would be very greatful if anybody can help me in this regard.

You 'think' or are you sure?
What is it that you 'know' that you want as the output?
And how's that compare to the 'sed' solution provided?

Franklin's solution works with slight modification:

Code:

sed -n '/<clone-info>/,$p' file_in > file_out

Hey all, Thanks a lot..!!!
Its working now..!!
