Issue
Is it possible to use grep to match only lines with numbers in a pre-specified range?
For instance I want to list all lines with numbers in the range [1024, 2048]
of a log that contain the word 'error'.
I would like to keep the '-n' functionality i.e. have the number of the matched line in the file.
Solution
sed -n '1024,2048{/error/{=;p}}' | paste - -
Here /error/
is a pattern to match and =
prints the line number.
