Grouping sed commands
Hello, would you please help me with why my SED command file is outputting the entire input file instead of only the text that I'm trying to block?

Code:
 
cat testfile
O 111111111-00
DUE-DATE
METHOD:
FREQUENCY:
O 222222222-00
DUE-DATE
METHOD:
FREQUENCY:
O 333333333-02
DUE-DATE
METHOD:
FREQUENCY:
 
cat cmdfile
/222222222-00/,/FREQUENCY/ {
s/^/222222222-00 /
}

The entire testfile is displayed with my updates when I run "sed -f cmdfile testfile"

Code:
sed -f cmdfile testfile 
 
O 111111111-00
DUE-DATE
METHOD:
FREQUENCY:
222222222-00 O 222222222-00
222222222-00 DUE-DATE
222222222-00 METHOD:
222222222-00 FREQUENCY:
O 333333333-02
DUE-DATE
METHOD:
FREQUENCY:

Why is it that the cmdfile will update the block of text and output all of the lines?

I would expect that only the block of text I'm grabbing would display with the updates.

I'm trying get the following to be my results
Code:
sed -f cmdfile testfile 
 
222222222-00 O 222222222-00
222222222-00 DUE-DATE
222222222-00 METHOD:
222222222-00 FREQUENCY:

Thank you,
Lon
