I have a sed pattern search as below:

sed -n '/<centerline/,/</centerline/p'

This finds everything in between <centerline> and </centerline>

I want to ignore all the cases where I have <centerline id ="sid*" > till closing next </centerline>

Basically, I want to include all the centerlines except the case where centerline is sid.
Some of the snippets given below to be included:

                            <centerline id ="star12L" >

                                    <polyline>

                                            <point x="487610.06" y="2803975.46" />

                                            <point x="501348.98" y="2795594.35" />

                                    </polyline>

                            </centerline>

To exclude:

                            <centerline id ="sid12L" >

                                    <polyline>

                                            <point x="501348.98" y="2795594.35" />

                                            <point x="487610.06" y="2803975.46" />

                                    </polyline>

                            </centerline>

How can I do this?

Thanks!

  If you are parsing XML, it would be a whole lot easier to do that with an XML parser, such as xmlstarlet.

  You can call xmlstalet from a shell script just like you can call sed from a shell script. edit your question to include concise, testable sample input (including your target strings in-context) and expected output for us to be able to help you. Make sure to cover all your worst-case scenario use cases (nested target delimiters, multiple delimiters on a line, delimiters within comments, delimiters within strings, etc.).

Assuming the XML file looks something like

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

  <centerline>get this</centerline>

  <centerline id="sid*">not this</centerline>

  <centerline id="somethingelse" id2="why not?">more here</centerline>

</root>

XMLStarlet would be able to parse out the two strings get this and more here (i.e., ignore the not this string) with

$ xmlstarlet sel -t -v '//centerline[boolean(@id) = false or @id != "sid*"]' -nl file.xml

get this

more here

The XPATH query //centerline[boolean(@id) = false or @id != "sid*"] means "match every centerline node that lacks an id attribute, or whose id attribute is not sid*, anywhere in the document".

If the data that you extract contains escaped characters (such as &), you can unescape these by piping the output of the above command through xmlstarlet unesc.
