select contents between two delimiters (not working if newline in encountered)
Hi, I am facing difficulties in selecting the contents between two delimiters when there is a new line occurs.. Eg: Code:
>more sample.txt abcd -- this is the first line % efgh-- this is the second line and not able to print % ijkl -- this is the 3rd line % when i search for abcd and use the below command , i am able to print the desired contents between '--' and '%'. But the same i am not able to print in the case of 'efgh' . Its only printing the 1st line of that word found. pls tell me what correction to be included in this code.. or suggest me the code for this . Code:
grep -w efgh sample.txt | awk -F"-" '{print $2}' | awk -F"||" '{print $1}'
Required output : this is the second line and not able to print thanks in advance. :-)
