Thanks a lot for all your help.

I currently use cygwin and it seems that I cannot redirect anything to an external file (???) the script is blocked and doesn't ask for a date.

Anyway again thank you very much

Hello again,

Well I imported the script on a HP-UX environment and it's not0 executing the way it should :


Code:
#!/bin/sh
awk 'BEGIN{printf("Entrez la date : "); getline date < "-"}
$0 ~ date {f=1}
f
/^[0-9]{2}\//{f=0}
f' toto.csv

Results in :

Code:
$ ./extract.sh
Entrez la date : 02/12/2010
02/12/2010;;;;;;;;;;

=> and that's all

It doesn't give me the actions for a date :

Code:
02/12/2010;;;;;;;;;;;
;Action_1;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"File Comment";
;Action_2;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"Exclusif";
;Action_3;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"Not exclusif";
;Action_4;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"Another File Comment";
;Action_5;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"File Comment";
;Action_6;; Comment;Comment;;;;;;"File Comment";

Help please

Try this:
Code:
awk 'BEGIN{printf("Enter the date : "); getline date < "-"}
$0 ~ date {f=1;print;next}
/^[0-9]{2}\//{f=0}
f
' toto.csv

Again thank you.

Now I have to find a way (by myself) to get everything a little bit cleaner because the output is not very sexy.

Can you tell me what is the signification of all this :
Code:
/^[0-9]{2}\//{f=0}

If the first 2 characters of the line are numeric and the third character is a slash (the next date) assign 0 to the variable f.
