$ cat somefile.txt
afsdfv
asdf[ABC]dafga
asdfasf
yxcvyxv[/ABC]
asdadf
yv[ABC]sdfb
sdfgadfg
[/ABC]adf
asdf
$ cat somefile.txt | NEEDEDONELINER > output.txt
dafga
asdfasf
yxcvyxv
sdfb
sdfgadfg
$
So the "NEEDEDONELINER
" only outputs the characters between a [ABC]
and [/ABC]
.
[ABC]
could occur several times, and there could be random characters around it.
I only need the random chars between the [ABC]
and [/ABC]
.
I don't have time to learn Perl :\
Thank you in anticipiation!
