Shell Programming

Hi ULF,

Good day! Let's say I have an input file similar to this one below:
Code:
content-type 699     
        label SAMPLE1
        pattern ip-address
                host 10.10.10.10
                host 12.12.12.12
        end
        udr
                udr-type TEST
                unit-threshold 1000
                time-threshold 60
        end
        control
                control-server CONTROL
                fault-tolerant
        end
end

content-type 691
        label SAMPLE2
        pattern browsing
                url http://url/a/b*
                network-host
                        network-IP-address  1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2
                end
        end
        udr
                udr-type TEST
                unit-threshold 1000
                time-threshold 60
        end
        control
                control-server CONTROL
                fault-tolerant
        end
end

As we observed, text in red represents let's say the "start" and "stop" of the lines. For example for content-type 699, between the lines "content-type 699" and "end" (end in the last part in red text) are the needed output to be printed.

Note though that between these red-text lines are parameters and which are dynamic, so it is possible that for a single content-type there will be a lot of config inside it while others are just the basic and minimal.

Say, if I want to look for the inside parameters of content-type 699, so I will run a program and look inside the file the needed parameters intended for 699.

Do you have any suggestion? How will I do it? Please help!


BR,

Code:
sed -n '/content-type 699/,/^end/p' inputfile
