hi there- more input
hi mate,

below i paste the exact section that i need for my bash script.
so i need to isolate it in order to display it or extract some text from it.

note that some of the input is unique for this module (nm="db") but not for the entire configuration file- once i will isolate this module it will be much easier to extract the relevant text.

the section that i need to isolate from the file content:

<Module nm="db" service="DB" element="Physical connection" desc="Configurations for Database connection - server, s
chema, connections " exp="Production">
<ParamSubList nm="db" service="DB" element="Physical connection" desc="Configurations for Database connection - s
