Delimited string
Hi ,

I have a file named abc.txt. In which some sentences are written like .


Quote:
Hi my name is anupam ;
I have blabla ....................................................................................
..........................................
blabla ;
Now my requirement is that in a variable say "lines" 1st "Hi my name is anupam " will come then " have blabla ....................................................................................
..........................................
blabla" will come .

Thanks and regards,
Anupam

I take this to mean you have a file and want the lines from "Hi -> blabla ;"
[code]
sed -n '/^Hi my/,/^blabla ;/p' somefile > newfile
[/code

Sorry Jim for my poor explanation . Actually what i want is , in a for loop variable 1st the part "Hi my name is anupam " would come , in the next loop "I have blabla ....................................................................................
..........................................
blabla ;" would come.
In other way the string delimited by ; will come one by one in the for loop variable.

Thanks and regards,
Anupam
