Hi, very well ..thanks...I have one question for number 67..
there is a way to not include the lines which have the pattern..

I have a script which starts something like this (bash)
for i in *out ; do
sed -n '/---------------------------------------------------------------------------/,/-----------------------------------------------------/p' $i > a
sed '1d' a > b
sed '$d' b > c
blahblah

It could save me the next 2 lines...to not include those lines..

again thanks
