Full Discussion: Grep lines between two specific words after matching pattern

The previous did not work for me.
Perhaps because of the mistake that a test buffer makes assumptions about the contents that can go wrong.
Better have a separate state variable (here: buffer_on)
Code:
awk '
  buffer_on {
    buffer=buffer ORS $0
  }
  ! buffer_on && /Start/ {
    buffer_on=1
    buffer=$0
  }
  buffer_on && /End/ {
    if (buffer~/12345/) print buffer
    buffer_on=0
  }
' file

Introducing a separator variable:
one can include/exclude the Start and/or End pattern by simply changing the order of the 3 code blocks.
Code:
awk '
  buffer_on {
    buffer=buffer ors $0
    ors=ORS
  }
  ! buffer_on && /Start/ {
    buffer_on=1
    buffer=ors=""
  }
  buffer_on && /End/ {
    if (buffer~/12345/) print buffer
    buffer_on=0
  }
' file

Code:
awk '
  ! buffer_on && /Start/ {
    buffer_on=1
    buffer=ors=""
  }
  buffer_on {
    buffer=buffer ors $0
    ors=ORS
  }
  buffer_on && /End/ {
    if (buffer~/12345/) print buffer
    buffer_on=0
  }
' file

Code:
awk '
  ! buffer_on && /Start/ {
    buffer_on=1
    buffer=ors=""
  }
   buffer_on && /End/ {
    if (buffer~/12345/) print buffer
    buffer_on=0
  }
  buffer_on {
    buffer=buffer ors $0
    ors=ORS
  }
' file

Code:
awk '
   buffer_on && /End/ {
    if (buffer~/12345/) print buffer
    buffer_on=0
  }
  buffer_on {
    buffer=buffer ors $0
    ors=ORS
  }
  ! buffer_on && /Start/ {
    buffer_on=1
    buffer=ors=""
  }
' file

wmanager

WMANAGER(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       WMANAGER(1)

NAME

     wmanager -- choose a window manager and launch it

SYNOPSIS

     wmanager [OPTIONS ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The wmanager program displays a choice of the window managers listed in the ~/.wmanagerrc file.  When one is picked, the related command is
     written to standard output, intended to be used by shell scripts.	If the program is exited without choosing a window manager, ``-1'' is
     written to standard output.

     -fg COLOR
	     Set the foreground color.

     -bg COLOR
	     Set the background color.

     -bg2 COLOR
	     Set the widget background color

     -di[splay] host:n.n
	     Set the X display.

     -dn[d], -nod[nd]
	     Enable/disable drag & drop, probably does nothing.

     -g[eometry] WxH+X+Y
	     Set the window size and location.

     -i[conic]
	     Start as iconified.

     -k[bd], -nok[bd]
	     Enable/disable keyboard support.

     -na[me] CLASSNAME
	     Set the X window class.

     -s[cheme] SCHEME
	     Unknown, probably does nothing useful.

     -ti[tle] WINDOWTITLE
	     Set the window title.

     -to[oltips], -not[ooltips]
	     Enable/disable tooltips, probably does nothing.

EXAMPLE

     To start using wmanager, create a ~/.wmanagerrc file - generally with wmanagerrc-update(1) - and add something like the following at the end
     of your ~/.xsession file:

	   WM="$(wmanager -geometry +570+585)"
	   ...
	   exec $WM

     See also wmanager-loop(1) for a nicer way to start wmanager.

     2000, and converted to mdoc format by Peter Pentchev in 2008.
