Harder filtering, HELP ME PLEASE
Hi,
I wrote a post last friday but i think that i have not explained well.
I need help with shell script commands to filter information from a text file. This text file is divided into subsections of several lines that begin with a date as a header. There are no blank lines.
The aim is to create a script that receives as input parameter a date and ID number, and it shows only the parragraphs who start whit this date and contains in one of their lines the ID number. żDoes anyone know how I can filter out entire paragraphs containing a certain string? I thought of using SED or AWK. THANKS
