Bash, grep between two lines with specified string

Question

Example:

a43
test1
abc
cvb
bnm
test2
kfo

I need all lines between test1 and test2. Normal grep does not work in this case. Do you have any

Answer 1

You can do something like this too. Lets say you this file test.txt with content:

a43
test1
abc
cvb
bnm
test2
kfo

You can do

cat test.txt | grep -A10 test1 | grep -B10 test2

where -A is to get you n lines after your match in the file and -B is to give you n lines before the match. You just have to make sure that n > number of expected lines between test1 and test2. Or you can give it large enough to reach EOF.

Result:

test1
abc
cvb
bnm
test2
