Select a pattern from file

Hi,

I have a requirement to select only a specific pattern from a flat file and delete its occurance.
For eg.
If my file contains :

Code:

<A1>1234</A1>
<A2>5678</A2>
<ABC>1234</ABC>
<A3>0987</A3>

Then, i want to delete <ABC>1234</ABC> from the file and have the contents as :-

Code:

<A1>1234</A1>
<A2>5678</A2>
<A3>0987</A3>

How can i identify the occurance of this pattern?
Contents inside the tag<ABC>can change in various file.

Thanks in advance.
