Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Read block of lines from xml file Post 302238812 by palsevlohit_123 on Monday 22nd of September 2008 04:23:19 AM

Code:
awk '/start/,/END/' Filename
 
or 
 
sed -n '/start/,/End/p' Filename
 
or 
 
sed -n '10,60p' filename
 



the first awk and the second sed will be useful to gethe the line between a start_string to end_string.

Suppose if you know the exact FROM and TO line numbers then you can use the third sed command.
