It may help your need...

#below one is for declaring variable
#-------------------------
v=`sed '/<\IPCoreProducerConfig\>\|<\/IPCoreProducerConfig\>/d' input.filename`

#creating required outputfile
#--------------------------
echo "<IPCoreProducerConfig>" > output.lst
cat input.filename|sed /<\IPCoreProducerConfig\>\|<\/IPCoreProducerConfig\>/d' >> output.filename
echo $v >> output.filename
echo "</IPCoreProducerConfig>" >> output.filename

Another approach with awk, read the file twice, skip the last line the first time and the first line the second time:

awk '
/<\/IPCoreProducerConfig>/ && NR==FNR{next}
/<IPCoreProducerConfig>/ && NR!=FNR{next}
1' file file
