Shell Programming and Scripting

i wanted to search between pattrens

so i used

awk /"EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS"/,/END-IF/

but the some change is


AAAAAAAA
EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS

IF .....

END-IF....

XXXXXx
XXX
IF

END-IF

YYYYY
BBBBBB


I want to get everything between "EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS" and 2nd END-IF ...

Is it Possible...???

SO my output for previous File would be everyting upto YYYYY starting from EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS

A awk solution a little bit more complex ...

Code:

function print_lines() {
   for (i=1; i<=line_count; i++) {
      if (i <= end_line) print lines[i];
      delete lines[i];
   }
   line_count = 0;
   end_line   = 0;
   inside     = 0;
}
/"EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS"/ {
   print_lines();
   inside = 1;
}
inside {
   lines[++line_count] = $0;
   if (/END-IF/) end_line=line_count;
}
END {
   print_lines();
}

I have used it in the following manner

awk -f awkscript inpFile

If thats Right i find output to be NULL...

Removes quotes in EXEC pattern :

Code:

/EXEC CICS DELETEQ TS/ {
