Hi,

In my case, I have to look for two lines, one starting with a pattern and other ending with a pattern. So, I tried
Code:
sed '/^ABC/,/XYZ$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' infile

But the o/p is not as expected. The above command gives o/p as
Code:
ABCDEFWXYZ
123123
123ABCDEFWXYZ

but I want
Code:
ABCDEFWXYZ
123
123
123
ABCDEFWXYZ
123
123
