 Unix Tip #4446- May 14, 2025
 
ECHO LINES TO A BLANK  
  
  
To echo all lines in a  
file upto the first blank  
line use the following:  
  
awk '$0 ~ /^$/ {exit;} {print $0;}'   
  
The awk script can be used  
for printing lines upto the  
first occurence of any  
pattern.  
  
Just substitute ^$ with  
the pattern.  
  
I wrote this script to parse  
http server headers.
