Extract text between two specific lines
How can I get the part of the output of a command between two specific lines? A dummy example:
Command:
git for-each-ref --sort='*authordate' --format='%(tag)' refs/tags | grep -v '^$'
Output:
0.1.0
0.2.0
1.0.0
1.0.1
1.0.2
1.1.0
1.2.0
1.2.1
1.3.0
1.4.0
1.4.1
I want to get the part of this output, between two specific lines (not based on line number, based on content):
0.1.0
0.2.0
1.0.0
1.0.1
1.0.2
You can pipe output to awk
:
$ ... | awk '/0.1.0/,/1.0.2/'
0.1.0
0.2.0
1.0.0
1.0.1
1.0.2
you can pipe it to sed
:
.... | sed -n "/0.1.0/,/1.0.2/p" YourFile
