sed -n '/\/directory\/filename/,/\/directory\/filename2/p'

Hope this helps.

Paulo.

I have tried the suggestions you guys gave and it looks like they are close but not quite right. If I put them in double quotes it says its garbled. It does recognize the params but just can't handle them. I also switched / to # sign and put brackets around param and doesn't come back with anything.

Here is what I did

sed -n "/'$FILENAME'/,/'$FILENAME2'/p"`

Out is below:

sed: command garbled: /'/sybase_dumps/NXB_FDA_BACKUP/physdumps/reload_script_test20061130115518.dmp'/,/'/sybase_dumps/NXB_FDA_BACKUP/physdumps/reload_script_test20061201095324.dmp'/p

dh_gencontrol

DH_GENCONTROL(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_GENCONTROL(1)

NAME
       dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS
       dh_gencontrol [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with
       the proper permissions.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym
       packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.

       Note that if you use dh_gencontrol, you must also use dh_builddeb(1) to build the packages.  Otherwise, your build may fail to build as
       dh_gencontrol (via dpkg-gencontrol(1)) declares which packages are built.  As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it some
       times adds additional packages, which will be built by dh_builddeb(1).

OPTIONS
       -- params
	   Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).

       -uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
	   This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).  It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO
       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
