awk getline question
hi experts

i like to know how to print more line using getline command using awk. with below command i can only see one line (line no:1)

however i do have more line as shown below line no:2,line no:3,line no:4 and so forth. how do i get those to show up using the below command. I tried several option but no luck.

Code:
 
# awk '/Hardware/ { print; getline; print; } ' infile
Hardware
Line no: 1
Line no:2
Line no:3
Line no:4

thanks for any help!

Code:
awk '/START/,/END/' file

i.e.
awk '/Hardware/,/^$/' file

The example would print from Hardware to the next empty line. Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

hi,

output is very large so i will paste first line of the unwanted text from the working output. keep in mind this unwanted output shows up after my hardware lines (which i do like to see) i dont want to see anything related to rpc-reply and below from the same output. this output gets attach to the same command you provided earlier but at the very bottom. so i think there must be a way to filter out this unwanted text.


Code:
<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/XXX.XXX/junos">

You don't need to post the complete file, of course, but I need more than just the first line. Post enough that there's some data you do want, and some data you don't want. How else can we test if our programs will actually work for you?

Also post matching output for that input. When the results we get match what you want, that's how we can tell if our programs are doing what you want.
