hello

using sed and only one reg-exp is mandatory?

cat t.txt| sed 's/(ABC | CBA)/ \n\1\n /g'  | awk '/ABC/,/CBA/' | grep -=20=

v 'ABC|CBA'

that's a naive and simple approach, but i can't see why you need to =20
use just one reg-exp and just one sed. May be i missed something =20
through the thread :-?
