Shell scripting - split xml into multiple files

Question

Am trying to split a big xml file into multiple files, and have used the following code in AWK script.

// {
        rfile=\"fileItem\" count          


        

Answer 1

If your XML is really that well formed and consistent then all you need is:

awk -F'[<>]' '
// { header="" ORS $0; next }
/ { close(out); out="item_" $3; $0=header ORS $0 }
{ print > out }
' file

The above is untested of course since you didn't provide sample input/output for us to test a possible solution against.
