Hello.

I am not having luck with sed or awk today.

$ echo "$BrackListFinal"

I am trying to move all files after the parent directory that ends in '_Brkt'.

I tried;
#1

echo "$BrackListAllFinal" | awk '/^DSCF3602/, /_Brkt$/'

and...
#2

echo "$BrackListAllFinal" | awk '/^DSCF3602.*1/, /_Brkt$/'

Result (#1);

I want to start at the 1st occurance of each directory that ends in '_Brkt', and display all files listed after, and before the next '_Brkt' (if exists).

Thank you.

Something like this?

echo "$BrackListAllFinal" | grep _Brkt$

You have shown output you do not want. This is not generally helpful. It's difficult to guess what a broken program we've never seen before is supposed to be doing.

How about showing us what output you do want? That would be very helpful. Much less wild-guessing.

To Clarify...

I wish to start output after each occurance of '_Brkt',
until the next '_Brkt'.

So the desired results would be;

...then I'll move those files somewhere, then same for next '_Brkt'...
