Well, this certainly has promise. My out file looks pretty good:

Not familiar with ex but here's what I saw on my Mac:

$ ex -s +'/^100/,/^Building/-3 p | q!' Switch1.txt

^Z

Scenario:

Each of several .txt files contain the following (but perhaps with some minor variations due to code version running on the devices from which the text was extracted):

I would deny you no request at this moment in time! Of course there is no "router1" or "router2" or any of that - everything has been sanitized along the way. In keeping with that spirit, here is a...

Ah, one mystery solved and a new one introduced!

Your above abbreviated code led me to a discovery. It printed the very first hostname and then threw me an error on the very next file, which is...

Yes, that works like a champ. This too completes in one second or less, so my lack of xargs isn't hurting me too much. But I will look into it and see if it's something I can get implemented on my...

Yes, the above does work quite nicely! It gives me an output file in about one second, which isn't bad considering I have roughly 200 .txt files (some of which are quite large) in the directory.

No, but what do you think about the final two posts in this thread:

Convert end-of-line characters (revisited) - Mac OS X Hints (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20031018164326986)

It never takes long before there's something I can't do on OS X that could normally be done on a true *nix box. I couldn't do the -T switch but I could do a lower-case -t switch. For whatever it's...

Yeah, I definitely needed a good night's sleep. So I stayed up and smoked a cigar instead! :D

Anyway, with xargs using both bash and ksh, I was only getting the hostname of the very first device...

Understood. I have spent countless hundreds (likely thousands) of hours over the years doing likewise for others on the network engineering side (I'm a CCIE if that means anything to you), and I've...

Me neither! :D (as if!)



Then it's obviously some important detail that I'm failing to share with you.



You assume correctly!



Glad to hear it!

And I just learned something new...

Well I'm feeling very sheepish now because I thought to - and then failed to - mention that this is Mac OS X BSD. I know that sometimes things aren't fully supported in this case, and in retrospect...

Thanks also be to agama! I must say that some of your code is a tad over my head (I will take the time to understand it, though!), so I'm unable to properly break it down in my own mind. All that I...

Thanks bartus11! I think you've gotten me to within a character or two of the solution. Here's what I'm seeing:

Hi all,

My search karate must be weak because I'm about certain something very like this has been asked and answered here many times. I'll give you the exact scenario I've wasted a few hours of...
