To extract the file name:
echo disk = [ file:/path/to/file,sda1,w ]|awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[/,]"; } { print
$4}'
As for processing only between some lines, you can try this:
<code>
BEGIN { proces_line = 0; }
/startprocessing_regexp/ { process_line = 1 }
process_line {
/* Do stuff */
}
/stopprocessing_regexp/ { process_line = 1; }
</code>
Far from elegant, but will work (I think).
HTH.
