Get multiple line content between two chars
Hello -
I have a file that has the something like the following :
REM CREATE TABLE lots of text
REM table specifc creation text ;
REM ALTER TABLE lots of text
REM text specific to the the alter command
REM could be more lines of text;
What I need is to get all the lines for the ALTER TABLE statement up to the ending ; into a seperate file. There are multiple statements within the file and some could be one line some could span more than one line but they all end in a ;
Thanks in advance for your help.

DROP FOREIGN
TABLE(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation DROP FOREIGN TABLE(7)
NAME
DROP_FOREIGN_TABLE - remove a foreign table
SYNOPSIS
DROP FOREIGN TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP FOREIGN TABLE removes a foreign table. Only the owner of a foreign table can remove it.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the foreign table does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the foreign table to drop.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the foreign table (such as views).
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the foreign table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
EXAMPLES
To destroy two foreign tables, films and distributors:
DROP FOREIGN TABLE films, distributors;
COMPATIBILITY
This command conforms to the ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED), except that the standard only allows one foreign table to be dropped per command,
and apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
