What I want to do is extract only all text between the strings "BEGIN_SCANx" and "END_SCANx", where x is 1, 2, 3, .......10, 11, 12, and so on up to n and dump each into separate files.
I've tried extracting the information by looping over the file and using:
Code:
sed -n '/BEGIN_SCANx/,/END_SCANx/p' inputfile > outputfilex
However my problem is that when "x" is "1" the script extracts not only all the text between "BEGIN_SCAN1" and "END_SCAN1", but also all text between BEGIN_SCAN11 and END_SCAN11, BEGIN_SCAN12 and END_SCAN12, BEGIN_SCAN13 and END_SCAN13.
In this instance how do I get the script to select text between BEGIN_SCAN1 and END_SCAN1 only!

This should gives you the sections in separated files (file1, file2 and so on):
Your answers worked except for the answer given by gaurav1086
Code:
awk '!/SCAN/{print}' in_file
your script prints all lines not containing the word SCAN! I think that perhaps you may have misunderstood what I wanted. What I wanted was to print ALL text between and including two specific strings BEGIN_SCANx and END_SCANx.
Not to worry, the other answers do this just fine.

Hello,
your file contains separate lines for
BEGIN_SCANx and END_SCAN
so all the contents goes in where the pattern /SCAN/ doesnt come into scene.
Yes I did misunderstood that you wanted each section of text into a different file.
Glad all the answers are working.
Cheers.
