I want to extract text that is between .W and .A that is this text and store this text in 1.txt. The above pattern continues in the entire file. This means that I will start from 1.txt, then go to next pattern and
Code:
Some lines of more text. This text needs to be extracted.
and for the second pattern store in 2.txt
Code:
Some lines of more text. This text needs to be extracted. This is text 2.
As you can see the file numbers actually come from .I that is present in the above pattern.
I am using Linux with BASH and this is what I have done but seem it does not produce the desired results.
I've been trying with this script and tried to modify it but it is not working in my new instance. I want to do the same thing but I want to extract until the newline is encountered. This means I read the text after .W and keep extracting the text until a newline is encountered not .A this time.
I've tried with this but not working:
Code:
awk -v start=.W -v finish='\n' '
$0 ~ start { t = 1; c++; next }
$0 ~ finish { t = 0 }
t { print > c ".txt" }
' INPUTFILE
My input and output are all same but instead of .A I read until newline when I start from .W

There are a lot of ways to extract text from between two strings, but what if those strings occur multiple times and you only want the text from the first two strings? I can't seem to find anything to work here. I'm using sed to process the text after it's extracted, so I prefer a sed answer, but... (4 Replies)
