 Unix Tip #4413- April 11, 2025
 
DISPLAY ENTIRE BLOCKS  
  
To display entire blocks of text  
which contain a certain pattern,  
this one-liner can be used:  
  
cat file | perl -e "$/=''; while (<>) {print if /pattern/)}"  
  
Of course, this can be put in a  
perl-script pgrep:  
  
#!/bin/perl  
$/='';  
while (<>)  
{print if /pattern/)}
