Sorry if I was a bit unclear before, here is a short sample. I just
want to replace the Satimage grep and use the terminal grep instead,
that is to strip the code off and get the text into lists one block at
the time. --> {"This is ","a part ","of the test text."} -->{"This
is","another text part."}
I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the possibilities when using 'do shell
script', and I just want a sample of how I can pass the grep command +
string and retrieve the result.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<root>
<block id="1">
<text>This is </text><text>a part </text><text>of the test
text.</text>
</block>
<block id="2">
<text>This is</text><text> another text part.</text>
</block>
</root>

Can you be more specific? Generally this kind of question is
difficult to help with. It's akin to saying "I want to write a script
to do something with graphics." What do you want to do? What is the
"given pattern"? Or make one up that will help you if we can figure
out how to make it work for you.

I'm stuck, could some please show with a sample on how to use 'do
shell script' with Grep.
I want to search a string for specific tags or words in order to find
the needed insertion points. My case is that I receive a large text
string and I want to split this string into chunks after a given
pattern and I do not whish to use external tools like BBedit or
Satimage to do this.
