I am tryting to Spilt a File into number of files depending on the number of ouucrances of the Unique Tag.

Like this I have 1200 entries of Files. I want to Extact the data between the <ns:Address> and </ns:Address> and create a new file for every ten such entires.

output:
Address 1 to Address 10 --> ADDRESS_10.TXT
Address 11 to Address 20 --> ADDRESS_20.TXT

Can anyone help me with this. I am new to UNIX so any kind of help is helpful

Thanks,
Venkat.
