Re^2: Parsing an file that has xml like syntax

That's brilliant, that works really well. Thanks a lot. I have been trying for ages to get the tag and value out correctly. Would you be able to help me with a loop that for each JOBID it would get the value of the corresponding TYPE* value and FILE* value and print this info on one line of output. So the first line of output would be:

12345   101   add   /tmp/file_data_gros

Then the loop moves onto find the next JOBID and the values for the associated TYPE* and FILE. The next line printed would be:

12345   102   delete  /tmp/file_myvalues

And will continue to do this until all JOBID's and associated TYPE*s and FILE*s have been processed in the file
