My requirement is to extract & print only the value of XML tag from the file.

For example,
If the file contains the following

<FILE>
www.unix.com
Enhanced Mode
<TAG> Hi
</TAG>
Enhanced Mode

</FILE>

I need to print only "Hi".

TIA,
Viki

Code:

awk '/<TAG>/,/<\/TAG>/ { gsub("<[^>]+>",""); if( $0 ) print } ' filename
