Hello Linq,

Could you please use following, not tested though.
Lets say we have file as follows.
Code:
cat file420
ydudjccjxtdzhsfz`
<property name="something">
{any number of lines go here}
</property>
</property> 
abcdefg
jhdwygdebehb
wehkcgiwegceb

Following is the code may help.

Code:
awk 'NR==1 && $0 !~ /<property/ {B=-1} /<property/ {B=1}  {if(B <= 0 && $0 !~ /<\/property>/) {print $0}} /<\/property>/ {B--}' file420

Output will be as follows.

Code:
ydudjccjxtdzhsfz`
abcdefg
jhdwygdebehb
wehkcgiwegceb

Thanks,
R. Singh

NAME
PHAD_PHFIG - loads a layout form disk and opens it as current figure SYNOPSYS
#include <genlib.h> void GENLIB_LOAD_PHFIG(cellname) char *cellname; ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr PARAMETERS
cellname Name of the cell which all futher calls to genlib layout functions will work on DESCRIPTION
PHAD_PHFIG loads a physical view from disk and defines it as current working layout figure. This overrides the working figure initialized by DEF_PHFIG(3), if any. So the next call to SAVE_PHFIG will save the cell called cellname. EXAMPLE
#include <genlib.h> main() { /* Loads the figure to work on */ GENLIB_LOAD_PHFIG("cell"); /* Add an instance in cell */ GENLIB_PLACE("model","instance", NOSYM, 200, 600); /* Save all that on disk */ GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG(); } SEE ALSO
genlib(1), GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG(3). GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG(3). BUG REPORT
This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. PROCEDURAL GENERATION LANGUAGE
