Bleeding Brakes

IN both senses of the word, decided to fit new pads to the front so while at it bought braided pipe and all new seals in both m/cyl and caliper that was a week ago !! so far ive spent six days on the bloody job, started by bleeding the usual way then went on to pushing up with a syringe when neither worked in the slightest i took the whole lot apart thinking i had done something wrong, no everthing assembled correctly ihave worked from bothe ends so i know fluid is going thro the pipe ok if i work the brake lever i have got to the stage there are no bubbles coming forth if i push fluid through the bleed valve the m/cyl fills up with no bubbles but i still have no pressure on the lever at all, ive left the lever in the open position for two separate nights still nothing have totally run out of ideas.
