Question combine 2 awks statement into 1 liner
Using these 2 comands to concatenate both outputs into single file:

Code:
cat testdata | awk 'BEGIN { FS="\n"; RS=""; } /<pattern1>/ {print}' > testdata1
cat testdata| awk '/<pattern2>/,EOF' >> testdata1

is it possible to combine both "awk" into 1-liner?

pls advise and thanks in advance.

what are you trying to do?
Code:
awk 'BEGIN { FS="\n"; RS=""; } /<pattern1>/ || /<pattern2>/' testdata > testdata1

testdata file:
Code:
<start of file>
<some data>
<pattern1>

<error data>

<error data>
<pattern2>
...
<some data>
<eof>
<some

- trying to remove data between <pattern1> and <pattern2>

sed -n '/pattern1/,/pattern2/d' testdata

Hello, ux4me:

-n = don't print each line by default
d = delete line

That sed will never print anything. It stands a chance however if you remove -n. As malcomex999 suggested, give it a try Smilie
