it should, but not all sed implementations support the '<anything>+' syntax.
to specify one or more instances, use '<anything><anything>*', e.g. '[ ][ ]*'

i've tried the following....

Code:
sed -e '/[ ][ ]*[Ss][Ee][Ll][Ee][Cc][Tt][ ][ ]*/,/;/!d' -e '/;/G'

but still getting the following results... one bad result. Smilie

Code:
sed -e '/[ ][ ]*[Ss][Ee][Ll][Ee][Cc][Tt][ ][ ]*.*;/!d'

You are printing a range: from a line with ' select ' to a line with ';'.

Code:
sed -e '/  *[Ss][Ee][Ll][Ee][Cc][Tt]  */!d' -e '/;/G'

Can the start and end of the range be on the same line? like my 2 data examples above?

No.

If you only want one line, why ask for more?
