we use the "-n" parameter for only print the line when our pattern matches with input..
Code:
-n, --quiet, --silent
              suppress automatic printing of pattern space

you can think like so ;

/input parameter/ --> we find the our pattern..and then (if find the our pattern then process our commands..)
{n;N;p;q} -->
n: read the next line ("param1" --> our pattern space)
N: append the next line to our pattern space ("param1"\n"param2")
p: print the pattern space ("param1"\n"param2")
q: quit


/* awk */
/input parameter/ --> we find the our pattern..and then (if find the our pattern then process the our commands..)
getline : bring the next line ("param1")
a=$0 (a="param1")
getline : bring the next line ("param2")
a=a"\n"$0 (a="param1"\n"param2")
print and exit


and an extra for you Smilie
Code:
# awk '/input parameter/{while(getline){if(!(/}/||/^[\t ]*$/)) print $0;else exit}}' infile
param1
param2

/* awk 2 */

/input parameter/ --> same the above explanation
while(getline) --> while read and bring next line from input(s) (if there isnt an access/permission/read problem,awk read while it comes the EOF)
if(!(/}/||/^[\t ]*$/)) --> /}/ --> if the line not equal the "}"
|| --> OR
/^[\t ]*$/ --> empty line
then
print $0 --> print the record from input (your file)
else --> if not so is equals the its then exit

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
