Please give us details; not nebulous requirements.
  1. What operating system and shell are you using? (And "etl tool" is not the name of a shell.)
  2. Tell us what operands you want to pass to this script.
  3. Show us what output you want from this script. (Is the output inclusive of the #ZENCO lines, or exclusive of those lines?)
  4. Do you always want to capture the lines between the nth and the n+1st occurrence of #ZENCO, or are you trying to capture the lines between the nth and the mth occurrences?
  5. Should it be an error (with no output but a diagnostic) if the requested occurrences of #ZENCO are not present in the data, or should you just get the subset of the input that matches your criteria even if it is the empty set?
  6. If this is an etl problem, can't you query your database for this information?
  7. What have you tried to solve this problem yourself?
