Here is the code I am using
FILENAME="/sybase_dumps/NXB_FDA_BACKUP/physdumps/reload_script_test20061130115518.dmp"
FILENAME2="/sybase_dumps/NXB_FDA_BACKUP/physdumps/reload_script_test20061201095324.dmp"

sed -n "/'${FILENAME}'/,/'${FILENAME2}'/,p" /sybase_dumps/NXB_FDA_BACKU
P/control_files/reload_script_test

----I have also tried with no luck
sed -n "#'${FILENAME}'#,#'${FILENAME2}'#,p"

sed -n "#'${FILENAME}'#,#'${FILENAME2}'#,p"

sed -n "#${FILENAME}#,#${FILENAME2}#,p"

sed -n "/'${FILENAME}'/,/'${FILENAME2}'/,p"

I think what others are trying to tell you is to not use single quotes at all. Single quotes prevent variable interpretation.

I understand single quotes aren't wanted...I have tried it both ways to see
if anything works. Here are 2 more ways I have done it without success.


sed -n "/${FILENAME}/,/${FILENAME2}/,p"

and

sed -n "/$FILENAME/,/$FILENAME2/,p"


I get this error
First RE may not be null

What's with the comma before the "p"?

take a look at my last post - it should give you an idea of how to deal with the embedded '/' in your start/end addresses.

Not sure why the ,p honestly, but vgersh99 script
gave me what I needed. So I guess it must be because of the slash in the params?

Thanks for all your help everyone
