Radoulov,

There is no output. The command runs but has no output. It just returns back to the command line. If I write it to a file the file is empty.

Thanks

ygemici,

When I run your command an error occurs. We use AIX v5.2. There is no -o option with grep.
Thanks

Could you simply grep those entries and show us the ouput?

Code:
fgrep APPLICATIONNUMBER tescobank.xml

It brings back the whole record. The xml seems to be one line of data. Bit reluctant to send the actual output due to the details on it.

OK,
could you try this command:

Code:
perl -nle'
  print join $/, /(?:APPLICATIONNUMBER|DOCUMENTCATEGORY)\s*=\s*([^"])/g
  ' tescobank.xml
