My file contains data which is not well idented. Say like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><ns0:collection
xmlns:ns0="http://www.nwl.co.uk/BillPrintExtractService/1.0"><Record>
.
.</Record></ns0:collection>

I have to marge file N number of such files and create one file. So I need the following to be done:

1. I need to remove only </ns0:collection> closing tag from the first file
2. remove both <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><ns0:collection xmlns:ns0="http://www.nwl.co.uk/BillPrintExtractService/1.0"> and </ns0:collection> in the next (n-1) files
3. Have to remove only <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><ns0:collection xmlns:ns0="http://www.nwl.co.uk/BillPrintExtractService/1.0"> in the last file and merge all of them together

I have tried using sed command to process first file which is not resulting anything, "merged.xml" is empty.

sed '/<\/ns0:collection>/d' $file1 > merged.xml

Any suggestions?
