I am trying to extract some lines within a <w:t> tag in front and </w:t> tag at the end of the text I want, but im only getting the text within last tags and not the others. How can i do this?
This is the code ive been trying to use:
grep '<w:t>' word/document.xml | sed 's/.*<w:t>\(.*)<\/w:t>.*/\1/' | cat > brev.txt as you can see I'm greping from the document.xml file within the word directory and finding the tag within the file and transfering it to a file named brev.txt, but it's not working entirely. How do i get all the lines and not just the last line with the tag?
the document.xml file is a one line text file, if that makes any difference.
I also tried another code and this gave me everything from the first <w:t> tag and including everything within until the last </w:t> tag. So alot of extra text within, the following code for that was:
grep -o '<w:t>.*</w:t>' word/document.xml | sed 's/\(<w:t>\|<\/w:t>\)//g' > brev.txt Sample file (formatted for readability; the original is a single line)
