[Cialug] Algorithm; Cutting Up A File

[Chris Freeman]

I would actually use awk for this. It should look like:

awk '/^<description>/,/^<\/description>/p' | awk '!/^<\/{0,1}description>/p'

There's probably a way to combine the two commands, but this does it just
fine.

In shell you could do:

for i in description procedure reference
do
    awk "/^<$i>/,/^<\/$i>/p" | awk "!/^<\/{0,1}$i>/" > datafile-$i.txt
done
