Hi All,

Are there any logic to extract the only lines between first two *TM* (which is marked in blue)?

Even I've tried with the option (awk "/TM/,/TM/" file_name) and some other options as well. Resulted nothing yet. Please share your ideas on this.

Code:

grep '^[0-9]*$' data

Otherwise:

Code:

sed -n '
/^\*TM\*/ b block
H
$ b block
b
:block
x
/\n[0-9]*\n/p' data

Thanks, but I've got the answers myself after many tries:

sed -n '/\*TM/,/\*TM\*/p' file_name | grep -v "\*TM\*"

How is this? correct me if Iam wrong?
