No if i am replacing mM with A-Z but it is not working....

I just want to search for:
1)<Variable name="jkasjklasfkljl">
2)If the name starts with capital letter then just extract it......

Apart from this i dont want anything else......
Other attribute it shall not check also.

Try this for your very simple (seemingly) requirement:
Code:
sed -n '/<Variable name="[A-Z]/p' file

No it doesnot work.
It seems some problem with the command...
It doesnot print anything in the shell....

Any other suggestion please

Code:
sed -n '/<Variable name="[A-Z]/p'  input.xml

works fine if you have variables, which start letter A-Z

Or
Code:
sed -n '/<Variable name="[[:upper:]]/p'

Or try [a-z] or [[:lower]].
