Thank you! That works great. Could different search strings be combined, let's say look for UTLAPPP03 but also for UTLAPPP01?

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a 84K rows file of which I need to filter out certain data.<br />
I would need all lines starting from a string to the last occurence of string but including the first occurrence of [Total] after that last ocurrence...<br />
<br />
File would look like this:<br />
<br />
xxxxxxx<br />
xxxxxxxxxx<br />
xxx<br />
xx<br />
xxxx<br />
<br />
FIRST OCCURENCE OF STRING [AAA-111] &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;adfsdf<br />
sdfsdd<br />
TOTAL<br />
<br />
SECOND OCCURENCE OF STRING [AAA-111]<br />
sfdsfsdfdfd<br />
sdf<br />
<br />
sdfffsf<br />
TOTAL<br />
<br />
THIRD OCCURENCE OF STRING [AAA-111]<br />
dfsfsdaf<br />
<br />
LAST OCCURENCE OF STRING [AAA-111]<br />
sdfsdf<br />
sdfsd<br />
<br />
sdfsd<br />
sdfsdf<br />
<br />
sdfsd<br />
<br />
TOTAL<br />
<br />
xxxxxxxxxxx<br />
xxxxxxx<br />
xxxxxxxxxxxx<br />
<br />
xxxxxxxxxxxx<br />
<br />
<br />
So I would need everything that is between the x's <br />
The first occurence and the last occurence are grouped.<br />
<br />
Hope you can help.<br />

SED to print from [first occurance]  to [last occurance]

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
