Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to find string and return next 2 lines Post 302245105 by daveaasmith on Thursday 9th of October 2008 10:57:33 AM

I am currently using the following query to print the lines AFTER a pattern:

awk '/Statement Execution Time/{c=10}c&&c--'

Can this be adapted to print the lines after a pattern, up to a second pattern? I want the lines after (and including) "Statement", up to (not including) "Stack Trace". There may not always be the same number of lines between the two.

(Example File)
Statement Execution Time
Select Distinct.......
From.........
Where..........
Order By........
Stack Trace
config.java.feeds.invoices

PPI::Statement::Null(3) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   PPI::Statement::Null(3)

NAME
PPI::Statement::Null - A useless null statement SYNOPSIS
my $foo = 1; ; # <-- Null statement my $bar = 1; INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Null isa PPI::Statement isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
"PPI::Statement::Null" is a utility class designed to handle situations where PPI encounters a naked statement separator. Although strictly speaking, the semicolon is a statement separator and not a statement terminator, PPI considers a semicolon to be a statement terminator under most circumstances. In any case, the null statement has no purpose, and can be safely deleted with no ill effect. METHODS
"PPI::Statement::Null" has no additional methods beyond the default ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element. SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module. AUTHOR
