How to catch all the lines between two matching regex lines, into a temp file

[Pawan Sangal]

Hi,

I want to catch all the lines between two matching regex lines from a file having lines as mentioned below in file loggs.txt. I've to capture the lines between two regex lines, as you can see in below output of :se nu of teh loggs.txt file, there are several lines between the regex lines.

I've specified my regex line below. After capturing the lines between those two regex lines, I want to put those captured lines into a temp file.

let for suppose:
loggs.txt (my main file having all the lines, with :se nu output of the file)

The regex lines are those which starts with a pattern like:

296~2009-05-06 02:55:28~[Timer-5]~ERROR~[management.manager.JvmOperationManager]~~
#starting with numeric and then date, time and then ~~


If I put a "search string" (lets say: error occured while trying to get the Tomcat ThreadPool MBean at) in my file and grep those search string lines from my file.....But as you see, for the matched line (line no. 9), their are some muliple lines after that matched line and then the next regex line comes at (line no. 18...).

So, I want to capture the lines from line no. 9 to line no. 17 and then want to put those captured lines into any temp file ?

Any help in this regard, will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
