awk script Issues
Thanks actually that soultion actually worked .
I am having another issue with my awk script
Contents of my file is like this
file
AND (P1) {
no : and ;
mo : band ;
co : land ;
}
OR (P2) {
no : sand ;
cling : dad ;
Fiend : salt ;
}
NAND (P3)
no : sat ;
to : jat;
pi : tad;
}
What I need to do I need to search the patterns AND (P1) and OR (P2) and then delete all the contents of this Block and insert the content from another file - file2 ( between P1 and P2 ) in this location.
What I am doing ; I am inserting the code first
awk '{ if($0 ~ /P1/) {set=1; next}; if( $0 ~ /P2/) {set = 0}; if (set ) { print }}' file2 | awk '/AND (P1)/{f=1}f && /}/{print; system("cat $1");f=0;next}1' file > newfile
file2 content
############
P1
AND is the the band
land is the and
P2
#############
After this To delete the blocks I could use
sed '/AND/,/OR/d' file
I am having two issues here
1. The code will be inserted after the AND (P1) Block I want the code to be inserted before AND (P1) Block so that I can delete the respective blocks after that
2. By using the command sed '/AND/,/OR/d' file
I will delete not full contents
It will delete only these entities
AND (P1) {
no : and ;
mo : band ;
co : land ;
}
OR (P2) {
Need some advice in this regards

CAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAT(1)
NAME
cat -- concatenate and print files
SYNOPSIS
cat [-benstuv] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The cat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard output. The file operands are processed in command-line order. If
file is a single dash ('-') or absent, cat reads from the standard input. If file is a UNIX domain socket, cat connects to it and then reads
it until EOF. This complements the UNIX domain binding capability available in inetd(8).
The options are as follows:
-b Number the non-blank output lines, starting at 1.
-e Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display a dollar sign ('$') at the end of each line.
-n Number the output lines, starting at 1.
-s Squeeze multiple adjacent empty lines, causing the output to be single spaced.
-t Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display tab characters as '^I'.
-u Disable output buffering.
-v Display non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print as '^X' for control-X; the delete character (octal
0177) prints as '^?'. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are printed as 'M-' (for meta) followed by the character for the
low 7 bits.
EXIT STATUS
The cat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
The command:
cat file1
will print the contents of file1 to the standard output.
The command:
cat file1 file2 > file3
will sequentially print the contents of file1 and file2 to the file file3, truncating file3 if it already exists. See the manual page for
your shell (i.e., sh(1)) for more information on redirection.
The command:
cat file1 - file2 - file3
will print the contents of file1, print data it receives from the standard input until it receives an EOF ('^D') character, print the con-
tents of file2, read and output contents of the standard input again, then finally output the contents of file3. Note that if the standard
input referred to a file, the second dash on the command-line would have no effect, since the entire contents of the file would have already
been read and printed by cat when it encountered the first '-' operand.

head(1), more(1), pr(1), sh(1), tail(1), vis(1), zcat(1), setbuf(3)
Rob Pike, "UNIX Style, or cat -v Considered Harmful", USENIX Summer Conference Proceedings, 1983.
STANDARDS
The cat utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') specification.
The flags [-benstv] are extensions to the specification.
HISTORY
A cat utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. Dennis Ritchie designed and wrote the first man page. It appears to have been cat(1).
BUGS
Because of the shell language mechanism used to perform output redirection, the command ``cat file1 file2 > file1'' will cause the original
data in file1 to be destroyed!
The cat utility does not recognize multibyte characters when the -t or -v option is in effect.
