List,

I want to print a section inside a text FILE between REGEX1 and REGEX2
without printing both REGEX1 and REGEX2. How do I do this?

sed -n '/REGEX1/,/REGEX2/p' prints the section alongwith REGEX1 and
REGEX2. Please .

I apologise if this is a repost. I wan't fortunate enough to find it.

Thanks
Anirbid

Just use awk and you can trivially control whatever you want printed,
e.g. this will do what you want:

awk '/REGEX2/{found=0} found{print} /REGEX1/{found=1}' file

just change where "found" is set/tested to control whether either of the
matching regex lines are printed if you want to do something different
in future.

Hello!
Maybe you try this with Sed:

stephan@unimatrix ~ $ echo -e "re1\nfoo bar\nre2" | sed -n '/re1/,/re2/{
> /re1/d
> /re2/d
> /^$/d
> p
> }
> '

foo bar
