How to Grep more than one line to get all the thread content












2















How to Grep more than one line to get all the lines under that thread.
I already tried grep -A,-B,-C , but that seems to get more than or sometimes less than what i need.



$cat text.txt
=====================================================================
[11-23-18 10:07:01:119]::Thread(ABC):request returned

[11-23-18 10:07:01:120]::Thread(ABC):Sending packet 'POST /aq/ConManager HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:192.168.1.1
User-Agent: gSOAP/2.7
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1149
Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
SOAPAction: ""

[11-23-18 10:07:01:121]::Thread(XYZ): doing request

[11-23-18 10:07:01:122]::Thread(XYZ): request returned

================================================================


Now, if I use grep -A 10 ABC text.txt, it will output all other lines like thread XYZ. Wherein I only want to output all ABC thread and it's lines.And If I use only grep it will not output succeeding lines after the ABC thread.

You may use



awk '/^[[^]*]::Thread(ABC)/,/^$/' file > newfile


It matches a block of lines between two patterns, the second one matches an empty line and the first one matches:





  • ^ - start of a line


  • [ - a [


  • [^]* - 0+ chars other than [ and ]


  • ] - a ]


  • ::Thread(ABC) - a ::Thread(ABC) substring


See the online demo.
