Thanks Don,

Yeah, I just saw that I put the perl line and not my seds and awks .

Well, the thing is, that it is not working yet, I am running linux here.

Basically, I need to match the exact lines (both), and only the lines starting with it. (even that they have more text at the end )

So, we must match all the lines starting line this
Code:
Type of msg:          -in_full [+]

And ending like this
Code:
AWXX-Ready to commit (98) msg type: (10)

In both cases, they can have additional text at the end.



I got a question on this.

If I have an scenario like this:
Code:
Type of msg:          -in_full [+]
 >date >alr text
 >ID_on_exit 
AWXX-Ready to commit (98) msg type: (10)
Type of msg:          -in_full [+] 
>date >alr text 
>ID_on_exit 
AW AWXX-Ready to commit (96) msg type: (10)
Type of msg:          -in_full [+] 
>date >alr text 
>ID_on_exit 
AWXX-Ready to commit (98) msg type: (10)

Does sed or awk will take all the match from the beginning to the end? .. or it breaks the buffer when find another "starting pattern" ?

git-fmt-merge-msg

GIT-FMT-MERGE-MSG(1)                                                Git Manual                                                GIT-FMT-MERGE-MSG(1)

NAME

       git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message

SYNOPSIS

       git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log]
       git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] -F <file>

DESCRIPTION

       Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
       the <merge-message> argument of git merge.

       This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts automatically invoking git merge.

OPTIONS

       --log[=<n>]
           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged. At most
           <n> commits from each merge parent will be used (20 if <n> is omitted). This overrides the merge.log configuration variable.

       --no-log
           Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being merged.

       --[no-]summary
           Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

       -m <message>, --message <message>
           Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line of the log message. For use with --log.

       -F <file>, --file <file>
           Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.

CONFIGURATION

       merge.branchdesc
           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with the branch description text associated with them. Defaults to false.

       merge.log
           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the actual
           commits that are being merged. Defaults to false, and true is a synonym for 20.

       merge.summary
           Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the future.

EXAMPLE

           $ git fetch origin master
           $ git fmt-merge-msg --log <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD

       Print a log message describing a merge of the "master" branch from the "origin" remote.
