Ignoring everything between XML tags

[tdk1964]

HI,

I am comparing Visual Studio project file (csproj) files which are basically XML files, and want to ignore these tags <PropertyGroups> and <ItemGroups.> and everything within these tags. IS this possible?

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">

<DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
<Optimize>true</Optimize>
<OutputPath>bin\</OutputPath>
<DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants>
<ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
<WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
<PackageAsSingleFile>false</PackageAsSingleFile>
<ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol>true</ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol>
<DesktopBuildPackageLocation>Bin\Release\Package </DesktopBuildPackageLocation>

</PropertyGroup>

<PropertyGroup>

<ApplicationIcon></ApplicationIcon>

</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>

<Reference Include="AjaxControlToolkit, Version=18.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.18.1.0\ li b\net40\AjaxControlToolkit.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Antlr3.Runtime, Version=3.5.0.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eb42632606e9261f, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\Antlr.3.5.0.2\lib\Antlr3.R un time.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

</ItemGroup>

Hello,

Given this example, I'd suggest a Delimited grammar element, from:
<Node
to
</Node>

Which you can then mark that grammar as Unimportant. We have a guide here:
