Hi,
Please use this code

$ sed -n '/from/,/where/p' f1.txtawk '{print $4}'
O/p:- 
---- 
$ sed -n '/from/,/where/p' f1.txtawk '{print $4}'
xyz 
abc 
$ cat f1.txt 
select * from xyz where 
select * from abc where 

in your case read one by one file and run the above command on each line

thanks,
venkat
