copy lines data between 2 patterns in shell scripting

Question

This is my source.php file i want copy line number and line code if pattern matches between \'<(single quot less than) and \'>;(sinle quot greater than comma) <

Answer 1

Try the following command:

sed -ne "/''\;/{=;p}" source.php | sed '/./N;s/\n/ /' > wdestination.php

The = prints the line number of the pattern. The second sed command puts the line number on the same line as the text, otherwise it would be printed on separate lines.
