Code:
$cat infile
Script---

#interpreter
cd directory
spotlight -verilog file.v -$regression -batch -policy=xyz -rules ABC,abc,pqr -wdir ../other_files
cd ...

$sed -n '/-rules/s/.*rules \([^ ]*\) .*/\1/p' infile
ABC,abc,pqr
$sed -n '/-rules/s/.*rules \(.*\) -.*/\1/p' infile

SHOREWALL6-ACTIONS(5)						  [FIXME: manual]					     SHOREWALL6-ACTIONS(5)

NAME

       actions - shorewall6 action declaration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall6/actions

DESCRIPTION

       This file allows you to define new ACTIONS for use in rules (see shorewall6-rules(5)[1]). You define the ip6tables rules to be performed in
       an ACTION in /etc/shorewall6/action.action-name.

       ACTION names should begin with an upper-case letter to distinguish them from Shorewall-generated chain names and be composed of letters,
       digits or numbers. If you intend to log from the action then the name must be no longer than 11 characters in length if you use the
       standard LOGFORMAT.

FILES

       /etc/shorewall6/actions
