Print lines between 2 words
Posted on 24 Aug 2020
You may arrive in a situation where you may want to "extract" out text between two words. For example to view the latest changelog (where
x.x.x
is the latest version) in a CHANGELOG.md file.sed -n -e '/x.x.x/,/0.1.0/ p' CHANGELOG.md | sed -e '1d;$d'
sed -e '1d;$d'
removes the first & last line.awk '/x.x.x/,/0.1.0/' CHANGELOG.md | awk 'NR>2 {print last} {last=$0}'
awk 'NR>2 {print last} {last=$0}'
removes the first & last line.NOTE:NR
means which Line number is being processed
