I cant use -A as there is a variable number of lines. I doubt there's a solution involving grep, unless you use it twice in the same pipe: grep -A9999 string1 /some/file | grep -B 9999 string2 But there can be any amount of more elegant solutions, involving sed: sed -n '/string1/,/string2/p' /some/file -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
