I have scenario like below and need to search for multiple patterns
Eg:
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Green test
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Green test
Output:
I need to display the text starting with Test and starting with Time in the sequence
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Am trying with awk. But am able to search with only one pattern.
Thanks.
Three examples:
Code:
perl -ne '/^Test|^Time/ and print' weknowd.file
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Code:
awk '$1 ~ /Test|Time/' weknowd.file
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Code:
grep -E '^T(est|ime)' weknowd.file
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc

Reason: Adding original post
As long as empty lines between sets of data aren't important, you can also use:
Code:
sed -n '/^Test/,/Ended/p' file
and:
Code:
awk '/^Test/,/Ended/' file
both of which produce the output:
Code:
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
if file contains the data you showed us in post #1 in this thread.
If empty lines are critical between sets, you can try something a little more complex like:
Code:
awk '
/^Test/ {
if(c++) print ""
p=1
}
p
/Ended/ {
p = 0
}' file
which produces the output:
Code:
Test [Red]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
Test[Yellow]
Time Started= [2.3] secs
Time Ended = [4.5] secc
The above script could be made slightly simpler if you want an empty line to be output after every set instead of just between sets in the output (i.e., add a trailing empty line to the output).
As always, if you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.

I would like to print result of multiple search pattern invoked from an one liner. The code looks like this but won't work

Can anybody help getting the right code? (10 Replies)

I would like to parameterize the search patterns in the following way so that the user could dynamically change the search pattern.
