I think not. I have a file say like this ABC asassadfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf CBA hhhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjioioioi sodifs sdfsd ABC dasdfas aasdfa njnjn CBA and I want to get ' asassadfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf ' 'dasdfas aasdfa' 'njnjn' where I added apostrophes to see the spaces on indivial lines. Simply: give me everything that is between delimiters (ABC and CBA). Ruda
