extract text between two words on a single line
Hi Guys,
Can someone help me with a way to extract text between two words on a single line.
For example if the file has below content I want to extract all text between b and f inclusive of b and f. Aparently sed does this but does it line by line and I guess it cannot read word by word.
a b c d e f -> this is single line
Thanks!
