I am doing a data monitoring and I am doing a cron job to get the data everyday. But I am receiving many junk data with my actual data that makes the file huge. For example my data is,
eg.hh.jk.ll.mm
ee.ff.gg.hh.uh
im.mi.jj.hh.ll
11.33.44.55.66
I have to print the data matching the line from ff.gg to the line matching 33.44. Line number is not available. So my result should be
ee.ff.gg.hh.uh
im.mi.jj.hh.ll
11.33.44.55.66
Thank you !
Using sed:
sed -n '/ff\.gg/,/33\.44/p' file.log
The first // matches the starting pattern (line) and the last // matches the ending pattern (line).
Example:
$ cat file.txt
14.33.ad.55.66
eg.hh.jk.ll.mm
ee.ff.gg.hh.uh
im.mi.jj.hh.ll
11.33.44.55.66
1f.fs.45.55.66
11.as.56.55.66
$ sed -n '/ff\.gg/,/33\.44/p' file.txt
ee.ff.gg.hh.uh
im.mi.jj.hh.ll
11.33.44.55.66
