Tony, Not sure if this'll help, but here's what I used to get all links to begin on a new line. sed s/''/'\/a>\n'/g > processed The "\n" gives you a new line, so I'm saying every time you see "" replace it with "/a>\n" So, assuming the xml fax line was something like 123-456-7890 you could do sed s/''/'\n'/g file_with_fax_number.xml | sed s/'<\/fax>'/'<\/fax>\n'/g > some_output_file Then, you could grep some_output_file for "fax" or of course get fancy and cut a certain number of characters to pull out just the fax number.

Re: [newbie] xml and grep
Here is the complete scenario: urpmi libxslt-proc [EMAIL PROTECTED] xmlTest]$ xsltproc trans.xsl test.xml [EMAIL PROTECTED] xmlTest]$ It should work regardless of the position of the fax element (or rename it as necessary). > Help, I have my web limited by my company now, so I can't google till > tomorrow.

I do not know about cut &co (that should be possible). But the real tool for the job is a XSLT processor! urpmi libxslt (urpmi libxml2 too?) xsltproc (read the options) The xsl file should look like this: --- > > -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer > -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is > confidential.
