I know that by using the "-A NUM"
switch I can print specific number of trailing lines after each match. I am just wondering if it's possible to print trailing lines until a specific word is found after each match. e.g. When I search for "Word A" I want to see the line containing "Word A" and also the lines after it until the one containing "Word D".
context:
Word A
Word B
Word C
Word D
Word E
Word F
command:
grep -A10 'Word A'
I need this output:
Word A
Word B
Word C
Word D

It seems that you want to print lines between '
Word A
' and 'Word D
' (inclusive). I suggest you to usesed
instead ofgrep
. It lets you to edit a range of input stream which starts and ends with patterns you want. You should just tellsed
to print all lines in range and no other lines:
