Vino,

i think I was wrong in quoting my question. Actually I want the pattern between the pair "OBJECT" and "FILEDS"(excluding the line "FIELDS")

Quote:
$ uname -a
SunOS snvi003 5.8 Generic_117350-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
$

I found following awk command working as per my requirements. How can I remove the use of grep here.

$awk '/OBJECT *TYPE/,/FIELDS/' test.dat|grep -v FIELDS

I dont what you the idea that FIELDS was getting printed.

Code:
[/tmp]$ cat txt
OBJECT TYPE="locale", 
NAME=locale_nl_NL, UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
FIELDS
clarify_lang = 0;
END_FIELDS
END_OBJECT NAME=locale_nl_NL

OBJECT TYPE="locale", NAME=locale_nl_BE
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
FIELDS
iso_cntry = "BE";
END_FIELDS
END_OBJECT NAME=locale_nl_BE
[/tmp]$ sed -n -e "/OBJECT TYPE/p" -e "/UNIQUE_FIELD/p" txt
OBJECT TYPE="locale", 
NAME=locale_nl_NL, UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
OBJECT TYPE="locale", NAME=locale_nl_BE
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
[/tmp]$

Vino ,

your command is printing the lines containg "OBJECT TYPE" and "UNIQE_FIELD".

I want the o/p between the pairs "OBJECT TYPE" and "FIELDS".

This is what you posted.

And this is what the sed command
Code:
sed -n -e "/OBJECT TYPE/p" -e "/UNIQUE_FIELD/p" txt
gave me...

Code:
OBJECT TYPE="locale", 
NAME=locale_nl_NL, UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
OBJECT TYPE="locale", NAME=locale_nl_BE
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
If your question has changed over the last few replies, please post the output you wish to see.

I am sorry if I was misleading you.
My question is same right from my first post.

Say my input file is

Quote:
OBJECT TYPE ="abc" UNIQUE_FIELD_ONE=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid
NAME=locale_nl_NL
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid
FIELDS

OBJECT TYPE="XYZ"
NAME=locale_en_CA
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid
FIELDS

OBJECT TYPE="PQRS"
-------
-------
---------
FIELDS
My o/p file look like

Quote:
OBJECT TYPE ="abc" UNIQUE_FIELD_ONE=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid
NAME=locale_nl_NL
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid

OBJECT TYPE="XYZ"
NAME=locale_en_CA
UNIQUE_FIELD=win32_lcid
UNIQUE_FIELD_TWO=win32_lcid
Hope my question is clear now.
