 perl -ne 'next unless (/^(?:CO)|(?:RD)/);print' acefile.ace

will give you a list of each the contigs followed by the reads in each 
contig, if "acefile.ace" is a phrap ace file.

There is a bioperl module for handling phrap ace file, but I'm not sure 
what its current status is. Last time I looked (probably a couple of 
years ago) it seemed to have been abandoned half-finished.
