Thanks Ravi and Balaji.

Its working but I have pretty lenghty xml and it matches everything, where ever the string occurs. I want these specific 5 lines in my output and not rest.

How that can be done? Also could you please what is does ' , ' coma means ? Is it a new line ?

Code:

awk '/\<tokenValue\>/,/\<sessionStatus\>Active\<\/sessionStatus\>/,/\<loginTime\>.*.\<\/loginTime\>/,/\<\/sessionToken\>/,/\<userName\>amey<\/userName\>/'  filename

I tried this its giving me syntax error. Could you please correct this ?

Code:

awk: /\<tokenValue\>/,/\<sessionStatus\>Active\<\/sessionStatus\>/,/\<loginTime\>.*.\<\/loginTime\>/,/\<\/sessionToken\>/,/\<userName\>amey<\/userName\>/
awk:                                                              ^ syntax error
awk: /\<tokenValue\>/,/\<sessionStatus\>Active\<\/sessionStatus\>/,/\<loginTime\>.*.\<\/loginTime\>/,/\<\/sessionToken\>/,/\<userName\>amey<\/userName\>/
awk:                                                                                                                     ^ syntax error
