There's even:

XMLgawk

http://home.vrweb.de/~juergen.kahrs/gawk/XML/

XMLgawk is an experimental extension of the GNU Awk interpreter. It includes a small XML parsing library which is built upon the Expat XML parser. The parsing library is a very thin layer on top of Expat (implementing a pull-interface) and can also be used without GNU Awk to read XML data files. Both, XMLgawk and its XML puller library only require an ANSI C compatible compiler (GCC works, as do most vendors' ANSI C compilers) and a 'make' program.

XMLgawk provides the following functionality:

    * AWK's way of reading data line by line is supplemented by reading XML files node by node.

Someone has compiled binaries for Windows, though it looks like you might need Cygwin or something else as well.

If you have to knock something together yourself you might try AutoIt3 using _StringBetween() function. This line I used with an xml subtitle file to get the start time:


--- ---$lines = _StringBetween($chapterTimes[$x], "<ChapterTimeStart>", "</ChapterTimeStart>")

You could have a 2 dimensional array with start and end tags you are looking for if you only need to find a few tags. If it's wide-reaching then you may need to use RegEx patterns.  But to catch simple start and end tags _StringBetween should be good enough. It's easy to use.

If it finds the delimiters it returns an array of the strings between them.

Looks like this XmlGawk mod was compiled with MinGW as stand-alone Windows binary:
