need to extract warnings and cautions

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I need to extract all "text" from within <WARNING>text</WARNING> and "text" from within <CAUTION>text</CAUTION> tags in an SGML file. I need this separated or formatted in a file so that I can copy and paste the warnings and cautions into a table. Looking for ideas. Thanks.

2

Provide an example of your file please

The example was a good idea. I had forgotten that the actual warning and caution data I need is inside para tags within the warning and caution tag pairs. <WARNING><PARA>text</PARA></WARNING>

Hi.

I extracted a segment from your long example and augmented it so that you can see how this can cross line boundaries:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# @(#) p1       Demonstrate pattern match across line boundaries, slurp.

use warnings;
use strict;

my($debug);
$debug = 0;
$debug = 1;

my($f) = slurp();
print " Input file:\n", $f;

print "\n Results:\n";
print "$1\n" while $f=~ m{
        <CAUTION>
        .*?
        <PARA>
        (.*?)
        </PARA>
        .*?
        </CAUTION>
        }gxms;

sub slurp {
        # Best practices, p213 for a file.
        my $scalar = do { local $/; <> };
        return $scalar;
}

exit(0);

Producing:

% ./p1 data2
 Input file:
<WARNING>
<PARA>THIS IS A WARNING</PARA>
</WARNING>
<CAUTION>
<PARA>
THIS IS A CAUTION
this is on a separate line
as is this
and this one, too
</PARA>
</CAUTION>
<LIST2 CONT="0">
<L2ITEM CONT="0">
<PARA>this is a l2item</PARA>
</L2ITEM>

 Results:

THIS IS A CAUTION
this is on a separate line
as is this
and this one, too

You didn't post anything about the the form of the desired output, so this is what my fingers keyed in.

This is one idea and I will leave it to you to finish up. If you are not on friendly terms with perl, someone will probably stop in with an alternate solution ... cheers, drl

I don't have perl on the server where the data is located, but I can easily move data to another server where perl is available. I will give this a try and report back. :slight_smile: I apologize for the long example file.
