Extract lines between two line numbers in shell
bash, sed, shell
Solution
without testing:
awk -v s="$line1" -v e="$line2" 'NR>s&&NR<e' file
you can control the "inclusive/exclusive" with `>= or <=`
if you want to make it safe for leading/trailing spaces in your shell var:
awk -v s="$line1" -v e="$line2" 'NR>1*s&&NR<1*e' file
Problem
How is this possible in shell using sed or any other filter Lets say that i have two specific line numbers in two variables `$line1` and `$line2` and i want to extract lines between these two lines like this ``` cat my_file_path | command $line1 $line2 ``` Example if my file is: 1:bbb 2:cccc 3:dddd 4:eeeee My output should be if i do: ``` cat my_file_path | command 1 3 ``` Output ``` bbb cccc ```
