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!
