I have a simple xml file,need the output with the <value> tag and <result> tag

text.xml
<test-method status="FAIL" duration="45">
<value>
Id=C18
</value>
<result>
wrong paramter
</result>
</test-method>
<test-method status="FAIL" duration="45">
<value>
Id=C19
</value>
<result>
Data Issue
</result>
</test-method>
<test-method status="FAIL" duration="5">
<value>
Id=C20
</value>
<result>
mismtach
</result>
</test-method>
Output:
id=C18 wrong parameter
id=C19 data issue
id=C20 mismatch

Thanks nezabudka . my <results> has multiple lines, only the first line gets displayed when using the command sed -n '/<value>/ {n;h}; /<result>/ {n;H;x;s/\n/ /;p}' file

Create xm1

while read a
do
   read b
   echo $a $b
done 

grep -v "<" text.xml |grep -v ">" |./xm1
