deleting lines after pattern using sed

larne · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2008

I have seen there are many sed posts but still it is quite difficult to apply other post to my own problem

How can I delete all lines in a file from 2 lines after this pattern

Code:

*End_fine_coreg:_NORMAL

to the end of file?

Cheers

Adjust num according to the number of lines you want printed after the line in question:
Code:
num=2
awk -v num=$num '/*End_fine_coreg:_NORMAL/ { n = 1 }
  NR - n > num { exit }
   {print}' "$FILE"

use this code:

csplit file1 /*End_fine_coreg:_NORMAL/+3

it will create two file named x00 x01 then u get ur desire result in x00 file.
