I've got a data file with a few hundred lines (see truncated sample)...
What I want to do is extract only all text between the strings "BEGIN_SCANx" and "END_SCANx", where x is 1, 2, 3, .......10, 11, 12, and so on up to n and dump each into separate files.
I've tried extracting the information by looping over the file and using:
However my problem is that when "x" is "1" the script extracts not only all the text between "BEGIN_SCAN1" and "END_SCAN1", but also all text between BEGIN_SCAN11 and END_SCAN11, BEGIN_SCAN12 and END_SCAN12, BEGIN_SCAN13 and END_SCAN13.
In this instance how do I get the script to select text between BEGIN_SCAN1 and END_SCAN1 only!
I have a file like: myfile.txt
it is easy to learn awk and begin awk scripting

awk is a powerful text processing tool

fmt
fmt(1) User Commands fmt(1)NAME
fmt - simple text formatters
SYNOPSIS
fmt [-cs] [-w width | -width] [inputfile...]
DESCRIPTION
fmt is a simple text formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the number of characters specified in the -w
width option. The default width is 72. fmt concatenates the inputfiles listed as arguments. If none are given, fmt formats text from the
standard input.
Blank lines are preserved in the output, as is the spacing between words. fmt does not fill nor split lines beginning with a `.' (dot), for
compatibility with
nroff(1). Nor does it fill or split a set of contiguous non-blank lines which is determined to be a mail header, the first line of which
must begin with "From".
Indentation is preserved in the output, and input lines with differing indentation are not joined (unless -c is used).
fmt can also be used as an in-line text filter for vi(1). The vi command:
!}fmt
reformats the text between the cursor location and the end of the paragraph.
OPTIONS -c Crown margin mode. Preserve the indentation of the first two lines within a paragraph, and align the left margin of
each subsequent line with that of the second line. This is useful for tagged paragraphs.
-s Split lines only. Do not join short lines to form longer ones. This prevents sample lines of code, and other such
formatted text, from being unduly combined.
-w width | -width Fill output lines to up to width columns.
OPERANDS
inputfile Input file.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for a description of the LC_CTYPE environment variable that affects the execution of fmt.
