Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers extract regions of file based on start and end position Post 302695167 by pathunkathunk on Saturday 1st of September 2012 07:46:53 PM

Thanks for the input Don Cragun. The missing newline was a problem in the copy-and-paste that I didn't catch. You pointed out what is the obvious issue, which I somehow didn't notice--starts that come after ends. That's what I get for assuming I had a coding issue! Anyway, I have looked more into the data from which this file was generated, and it's clear I need to become more familiar in that area before coming back to this.
