Perl may be the answer for you. Sorry your XML got mangled, I mad some guesses as to what it would be like:

&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;&lt;SearchResults&gt;&lt;Success&gt;&lt;...

I&#039;m guessing that your XML is all on one line (is this XML-RPC?), but I don&#039;t think it matters:

$ cat your.txt | perl -lne &#039;print for /&lt;latitude&gt;(.*)&lt;\/latitude&gt;/g&#039;

$ cat test.txt | perl -lne &#039;print for /&lt;longitude&gt;(.*)&lt;\/longitude&gt;/g&#039;
