Hi ,

I have requirement... where in there are headers in the file and i need to pick the records right below them...

Example;

Qwerty Apple
10 20 30'
30 40 50
50 60 70
Qwerty Mango
40 50 60
76 86 98
80 59 67
Qwerty banana
77 66 99
77 99 100

sed '/^Qwerty/d' file

sed -n '/[0-9]/p' infile

sed '/^Qwerty/d' file ......Works fine


But what if say , i do not want the records below Qwerty Mango???? How can we handle this????

Please use next time code tags for your code and data, you are not far to get a temporary ban...

sed '/^Qwerty Mango/q' file

it doesnt work as expected...get the same result as

 sed '/^Qwerty/d' file
