What kind of shell ??

There are plenty of solutions but, at least, an XML parser is required because regular expressions could be too difficult to use and inappropriate.

As you told lot of solutions can you suggest me which will be the simplest of all.

There are no simple solutions (SAX, DOM, XSLT) but some products might help you if this is also a possibility for you... depending on your environment, as I said...
