Redirect lines to another file
Hi,

I have a file with a size of 10 mb and I need to redirect some specific lines to a new files. For eg.
Code:
Executed Restore for 11227.EDCS.551.01.201110 from /tmp/bk/restore/CR81500/content/S24U15VA2.2010-10-29.16:49.EDT/ArchiveFile_11227.EDCS.551.01.201110.zip
Operation output:
<U+FEFF>Oct 30, 2010 2:49:15 AM - Fatal: A fatal error has occurred. The reason for the error is:
        Restore operation requires a new destination course.

The files contains the lines like the above. I need to redirect the similar lines in a file to another file using the shell script.

hi
these lines are sequential or not? and each lines are seperate or continuation lines?

1) These lines are not sequential.
2) These are totally four lines, the first 2 lines belongs to the 1st line, 3rd as 2nd line 4th line as 3rd and 5th as 4th as per in the forum display.
3) My suggestion is, by keeping the first word of the line "Executed Restore" and last word of the line "destination course" we can copy and redirect it to the another file.

try this
Code:
# sed -n '/Executed Restore\|Operation output\|The reason\|destination course/p' infile >newfile

Try:
Code:
awk '/^Executed Restore/,/destination course.$/' infile

Code:
sed '/^Executed Restore/,/destination course.$/!d' infile
