Display lines after match is found within specified range
I have a file which has collection of segments occuring n(For eg.100) times
Code:
ISA
GS
ST
NM1*85
N3
N4
NM1*IL
N3
N4
REF*D9*1001
ISE
GE
SE
ISA

NM1*85

NM1*85

NM1*IL

REF*D9*1003

ISA
GS
ST
NM1*85
N3
N4
NM1*IL
N3
N4
REF*D9*1100
ISE
GE
SE

To get N3 under NM1*85 only i used follwing code
Code:
awk 'c-->0;/NM1\*85/{c=1}' file

while doing so i got all the 100 N3 under NM1*85
But what i need is to get N3 from within a specified range for eg(1001 to 1010),by using the sequnce no mentioned in REF*D9 segment
Code:
My Shell is csh

try

Code:
awk '/REF\*D9\*1001/{c=1}
/REF\*D9\*1010/{c=""}
/N3/ && c {print}' file

Code:
~/$ perl  -ne '$n3 = $_ if $nm;
  print "$1 : $n3" if ( ( /^REF\*D9\*([\d]+)$/ ) && ($1 >= 1001)&& ($1 <= 1100) );
  $nm=/^NM1\*85$/;
' file

Should do what you require

If you are searching the next line below NM1*85 in the range between REF*D9*1001 - 1010, this will do:
Code:
awk    '/REF\*D9\*1001/ {B1=1}
        /REF\*D9\*1010/ {B1=0}
        /NM1\*85/ && B1 {getline;print}
       ' file
N3
N3
N3

If you need the line containing N3, try this:
Code:
awk     '/REF\*D9\*1001/ {B1=1}
         /REF\*D9\*1010/ {B1=B2=0}
         /NM1\*85/ && B1 {B2=1}
         /N3/ && B2      {print}
        ' file

If you want to hand over the range parameters dynamically, try
Code:
awk    'match ($0, P1)  {B1=1}
        match ($0, P2)  {B1=B2=0}
        /NM1\*85/ && B1 {B2=1}
        /N3/ && B2      {print}
       ' P1='REF\*D9\*1001' P2='REF\*D9\*1002' file
N3
N3

All have provided solution based on bash shell but i need solution in csh shell i have already mentioned it

You think awk and perl are bash-specific? If yes, then you don't know what a shell is.

Have you tried the solutions provided to you?

My OS info
Code:
uname -a
SunOS viper 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R

when i tried Rudic's below mentioned code
Code:
awk    'match ($0, P1)  {B1=1}
        match ($0, P2)  {B1=B2=0}
        /NM1\*85/ && B1 {B2=1}
        /N3/ && B2      {print}
       ' P1='REF\*D9\*1001' P2='REF\*D9\*1002' file

I got the folloing error
Code:
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

I searched net and found if awk fails we can use nawk while using nawk no error message displayed but i didnt get any output
