Thanks all, now I have a slightly improved understanding of sed (and perl as well)
Bartus11's second bit of perl gives me almost what I want: it gives me the text between the first instance of 'Anna' and the first 'would' after that. But if I have multiple occurrences of 'Anna' and 'would' in my file, how do I get all of them?
Just to clarify, if the text file was
Anna A would Anna B would Anna C would
then I'd want the output to be
A
B
C
and not
A
AB
B
BC
C
or any similar permutation. Should I just get rid of the first occurence in the file and then run Bartus11's second script again (and again and again) until I get no more output? Or is there an elegant way to avoid doing that? (Not that it has to be elegant: I'm quite happy with brute force
)
