Removing a string of text from a file - help please

Hey Folks,

I have a file that contains data that I am working with, sometimes this file has a very long string of text that messes with an awk command in a script i am trying to build. I would like to cut this string of text out of a file and then redirect everything except that string to a new file...

Input file:
Code:
/opt/hd/pt/var/tmp/${store}t_taxware.xml

Output file:
Code:
/opt/hd/pt/var/tmp/${store}_taxware.xml

the file is in XML format of sorts.. this is an example of the data in the file..
Code:
<tax><RepCents><Rep_0>10.00</Rep_0><Rep_1>10.00</Rep_1><Rep_2>10.00</Rep_2><Rep_3>10.00</Rep_3><Rep_4>10.00</Rep_4>
<Rep_5>10.00</Rep_5></RepCents></tax>

I would like to cut everything between <RepCents> and </RepCents> but leave everything else in the file intact.

can anyone help here, thank you very much for your time.. Smilie
