I have a flat file with data in following structure.
(S1 (S (NP (NP (DT The) (JJ beautiful) (NN view)) (PP (IN of) (NP (JJ outside) (NNP greenery)))) (VP (VBZ adds) (NP (DT a) (NN tranquil) (NN touch)) (PP (TO to) (NP (DT this) (NN place)))) (. .)))

I have to extract the contents in ( NP ((( )))) and (VP ((( ))) and (PP ((( )),

Here's one way...

$ cat file1
(S1 (S (NP (NP (DT The) (JJ beautiful) (NN view)) (PP (IN of) (NP (JJ outside) (NNP greenery)))) (VP (VBZ adds) (NP (DT a) (NN tranquil) (NN touch)) (PP (TO to) (NP (DT this) (NN place)))) (. .)))

$ cat prog.awk
    {
        for (i = 2; i <= length($0); i++) {
            x = substr($0, i, 1)
            if (c > 0) {
                b = b x
                if (x == "(") c++
                if (x == ")") c--
            }
            if (c == 0 && substr($0, i, 3) ~ /^\([NVP]P$/) {
                if (b) print b
                b = x
                c++
            }
        }
    }

    END {
        if (b) print b
    }

$ awk -f prog.awk file1
(NP (NP (DT The) (JJ beautiful) (NN view)) (PP (IN of) (NP (JJ outside) (NNP greenery))))
(VP (VBZ adds) (NP (DT a) (NN tranquil) (NN touch)) (PP (TO to) (NP (DT this) (NN place))))
