Full Discussion: process text between pattern and print other text
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting process text between pattern and print other text Post 302314279 by vlinet on Friday 8th of May 2009 01:29:13 AM

The output I get is
===
This is a file containing employee info
START
name john
id 123
date 12/1/09
END
Total records 2
Date of extraction: 12-3-09
===

Whereas the expected output is with the blank lines as it is in the input.
==
This is a file containing employee info

START
name john
id 123
date 12/1/09
END


Total records 2
Date of extraction: 12-3-09

Thanks again,

unique

UNIQUE(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 UNIQUE(8)

NAME

       unique - removes duplicates from a wordlist

SYNOPSIS

       unique output-file

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the unique command, which is part of the john package.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to  find
       weak passwords of users in a server.
       The  unique  tool  finds  and removes duplicate entries from a wordlist (read from stdin), without changing the order. This is important to
       increase the performance of john when using the wordlist method.

SEE ALSO

       john(8), mailer(8), unafs(8), unshadow(8).

       The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on
       your system.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
       John the Ripper and mailer were written by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>. The complete list of contributors can be found in the CRED-
       ITS file in the documentation directory.
