your script prints all lines not containing the word SCAN! I think that perhaps you may have misunderstood what I wanted. What I wanted was to print ALL text between and including two specific strings BEGIN_SCANx and END_SCANx.

Not to worry, the other answers do this just fine. Smilie

cheers!
Hello,
your file contains separate lines for
BEGIN_SCANx and END_SCAN
so all the contents goes in where the pattern /SCAN/ doesnt come into scene.
Yes I did misunderstood that you wanted each section of text into a different file.
Glad all the answers are working.
Cheers. Image
