Hi.

Use this version, s2:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s2       Demonstrate string extraction from XML file, xml2.

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
em() { pe "$*" >&2 ; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
# C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C specimen xml2 grep awk tr dixf

FILE=${1-data1}
# E=expected-output.txt

pl " Sampled lines from data file $FILE:"
# specimen -n $FILE
head $FILE

# Look for a001, b203, and j151
pl " Results, warning message expected:"
xml2 < $FILE |
tee f1 |
grep -E '(a001|b203|j151)=' |
tee f2 |
awk -F/ '{print $NF}'|
tee f3 |
awk -F= '{print $2}'|
tee f4 |
tr '\n' '\t' ; echo ""

rm -f f?
exit 0

producing, by using your file name for data1 here:
Code:
$ ./s2 data1

PS:
It looks like brew,fink,port have some version of xml2 for an old system like:

Distribution        : Mac OS X 10.5.8 (leopard, workstation)

drysdalk - It will be a weekly task, and there are about 2.5M lines per file, so Excel would not be practical, unfortunately. Thanks, though!

dlr - Thanks again. Yes, I still have that issue with xml2 (line 24). Also, would there be an issue with commenting out

Code:
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }

to eliminate the line break?

As you didn't specify any restrictions on neither input (e.g. pattern repetitions) nor output structure (field ordering, multiple lines), this easy approach might be of some interest:
Code:
awk '/a001|b203|j151/ {gsub (/ *<[^>]*> */, _); printf "%s\t", $0} END {printf RS}' file

RudiC - Yes, thanks so much, that is essentially what I need. The output line would be one of many with the same structure, so I think I need a
Code:
\n

somewhere, but couldn't quite get it to work.

Where do you need the <line feed>? If after the j151, be aware that there can be several in one record. If you can be sure there's just one, try
Code:
awk '/a001|b203|j151/ {TRS=/j151/?RS:"\t"; gsub (/ *<[^>]*> */, _); printf "%s%s", $0, TRS}' file

Hi, palex.

You need to have xml2 in your system. As I wrote, it is available for installing in at least the version of MacOS that I have, albeit from 3rd parties.

If the solution from RudiC works for you, then use it -- it is simpler than xml2.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Very close... The following is the first four lines of output when I run the command on the entire data file:

Code:
9781328740472   Peepers 7.99
10.99
9780544503205   Curious George Fire Dog Rescue (CGTV reader)    3.99
5.99
9780544574786   Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me)      15.95
22.50
9781328683786   Tools of Titans 28.00
40.00

I'm not sure where that extra field is coming from. Desired output:

Code:
9781328740472   Peepers 7.99
9780544503205   Curious George Fire Dog Rescue (CGTV reader)    3.99
9780544574786   Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me)      15.95
9781328683786   Tools of Titans 28.00

Sorry if I was unclear! Thanks again!
