| Grep From (xyz) To (xyz) Everything In Middle
I am trying to grep for (xyz) and get everything till the next (xyz). Right now I am using -Bx and -Ax but sometimes the number of lines varies. Is there a way to do this? I am rotating through each set in a script and grabbing info from each set. Is grep the right tool or is there another tool that will do what I would like? Thanks!! |

clubs:   | Maybe use perl and split() by "(xyz)" as the token? Otherwise you'd probably want to use regex and sed or awk or perl, not grep.

What about egrep/grep with a regexp since it sounds like you want everything between all instances of (xyz). |

Seems like `sed' is what you want:
Tweak to suit your taste.
