1. '/text[12]/p' - print any lines containing the string 'text1' or 'text2'
2. '/text1/,/text2/d;p' - delete anything from text1 to text2 inclusive and print the rest
Code:
awk '/text1/,/text2/{if(/text[12]/)print;next}1' file
1. /text1/,/text2/ - search between text1 and text2 inclusive, when true go to step 2
2. if(/text[12]/)print;next - if line contains strings 'text1' or 'text2' then print. Whether previous is true or not go to the next record
3. 1 - print all lines not in the boundary test from step 1
Hope that helps  |
