Dear all, first of all I want to thank you in advance for even reading my post and any effort you will put into helping me. I highly appreciate your expertise and time you spend to help me. Now to the problem: I discovered OSM on Friday to solve a problem that I have. For a certain area, I want to extract all the street names. Originally, I would just go to Google Maps and click on every street to get the street name, but I think that is very inefficient and I want to make it way easier. When it comes to coding etc, I am a total noob and I don't really know what I am doing. So I stumbled upon this Question [here](https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2980/how-do-i-list-all-the-streets-in-a-city-with-nominatim) to help my problem. It is very useful, so far I installed Osmosis and got it running. The country that I want data from is Portugal. I managed to get the street names from a rectangle, however, the areas that I want are more complex like a mulitpolygon. For that, I downloaded JOSM and its here where the first problem starts. I have no clue if I do it the right way, but I basically downloaded the GPS data from Lisbon. Actually I just needed the satellite map, but I had no idea how to get that on JOSM. Then I drew some nodes of my area and made it into a Multipolygon and saved it as an osm.file. I provide a link so you get the picutre: ![alt text][1] Not sure if I am on the right track, but I downloaded Perl and installed it. In the Command line I put: "perl PathToOSM2PolyScript PathToMultipolyFile" The results were correct like the ones in the Question link that I posted, however here is the big problem: How do I get the results into a .poly file that can be read by Osmosis? This is where I am stuck. Additionally, the last thing whats missing is then to filter the .osm file that contains all the data. I figured I can just open the .osm file with Excel and I get so much data, but how to I filter only for the street names? I saw that in the Answer to the posted Question, the guy provided a line like this: "sed -n 's/.*k="name" v="//;T;s|"/>||;p' Stockholm-names.osm |sort -u" But where is that line put into? How does it work? You guys see, I am not an expert in IT, but its really on my heart now to solve this problem. I tried to go ahead as far as I can all by myself. But now I got to a point where I can't go any further without help. So I am sorry to bother you guys, but please do help me with any solutions or suggestions. Thank you in advance Kind regards, Tom [1]: https://imgur.com/fdggYc6.jpg "Multipolygon"
