Hi ripat
u almost read my mind. removing those things will be helpful but not necessary for me. My final objective, which i didnt mention, was to search for pattern 'condition' after retrieving the text and then output the job name which is there after 'condition'.
I tried running the code u gave and this is what its giving
while read str
> do
> sed -n "/-- $str --/, /^$/ {/-- $str --/b;/^$/b;p}" b1
> done<a1
sed: command garbled: /-- ab --/, /^$/ {/-- ab --/b;/^$/b;p}
sed: command garbled: /-- cd --/, /^$/ {/-- cd --/b;/^$/b;p}
sed: command garbled: /-- ef --/, /^$/ {/-- ef --/b;/^$/b;p}
can u explain the command line in a bit of detail...for e.g. what is the b obtion for :- {/-- $str --/b;/^$/b;p} is it for replacing with a blank?
I also ran the awk script. That is not returning anything..just the command prompt.
while read str
do
awk 'BEGIN{FS="\n"; RS="\n\n"; OFS="\n"} /-- ab --/ {for (i = 2; i <= NF; i++) print $i}' b1
done<a1

mvwinstr
curs_instr(3X) curs_instr(3X)
NAME
instr, innstr, winstr, winnstr, mvinstr, mvinnstr, mvwinstr, mvwinnstr - get a string of characters from a curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int instr(char *str);
int innstr(char *str, int n);
int winstr(WINDOW *win, char *str);
int winnstr(WINDOW *win, char *str, int n);
int mvinstr(int y, int x, char *str);
int mvinnstr(int y, int x, char *str, int n);
int mvwinstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str);
int mvwinnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, char *str, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These routines return a string of characters in str, extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window. Attributes are
stripped from the characters. The four functions with n as the last argument return a leading substring at most n characters long (exclu-
sive of the trailing NUL).
RETURN VALUE
All of the functions return ERR upon failure, or the number of characters actually read into the string.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementation, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter is null, a zero is
returned.
NOTES
Note that all routines except winnstr may be macros.
PORTABILITY
SVr4 does not document whether a length limit includes or excludes the trailing NUL.
The ncurses library extends the XSI description by allowing a negative value for n. In this case, the functions return the string ending
at the right margin.
