Hi Peteris,
Could you please tell some short command to delete lines from a file between two specific patterns/strings.
I am using the command : cat File | sed '/ABC/,/DEF/ d'
By using above command I am able to delete all the lines between ABC and DEF. But at the same time the first line containing ABC and last lilne containg DEF also get deleted, which i dont want.
Kindly help.
