Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

awk '/END/{f=0}/START/{f=1;next}f' file

The below code is working fine.

sed '1,/START-OF-DATA/d;/END-OF-DATA/,$d' corp_pfd_asia.out > corp_pfd_asiaout.txt

However there is a slight problem. The header of the data ends with "# PRODUCT=Corp/Pfd" after START-OF-DATA. when i input "# PRODUCT=Corp/Pfd" instead of "START-OF-DATA" it gives error think coz of "/"

sed '1,/PRODUCT=Corp/Pfd/d;/END-OF-DATA/,$d' corp_pfd_asia.out > corp_pfd_asiaout.txt


Thank you very much

Hi Manish 2009:
You will have to escape forward / like this: \/ :

Code:

sed '1,/# PRODUCT=Corp\/Pfd/d;/END-OF-DATA/,$d' corp_pfd_asia.out > corp_pfd_asiaout.txt
