UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I try to collect first those content like <w c5=".*" hw=".*" pos=".*?">.*</w> in that A00.xml.

I use the following pattern :

egrep "<w c5=".*" hw=".*" pos=".*?">.*</w>" A00.xml

The result is:

<s n="396"><w c5="PNP" hw="we" pos="PRON">We </w><w c5="VVB" hw="make" pos="VERB">make </w><w c5="AT0" hw="the" pos="ART">the </w><w c5="DT0" hw="most" pos="ADJ">most </w><w c5="PRF" hw="of" pos="PREP">of </w></s>

First, there is unexpected part <s n=...>

Second, they are not in list form like this:
<w c5="PNP" hw="we" pos="PRON">We </w>
<w c5="VVB" hw="make" pos="VERB">make </w>
<w c5="AT0" hw="the" pos="ART">the </w>
<w c5="DT0" hw="most" pos="ADJ">most </w>
<w c5="PRF" hw="of" pos="PREP">of </w>

Show a snippet of the unchanged input. I guess the desired output is the 5 lines below.

Here is my input file in the attachment

If possible, could you consider my another post named "How to extract data from BNC xml with reference brackets? "

Thanks.
