I need to remove all lines after the first line that contains the word "fox".
For example, for the following input file "in.txt":
The quick
brown fox jumps
over
the
lazy dog
the second fox
is hunting
The result will be:
The quick
brown fox jumps
I prefer a script made in awk or sed but any other command line tools are good, like perl or php or python etc.
I am using gnuwin32 tools in Windows, and the solution I could find was this one:
grep -m1 -n fox in.txt | cut -f1 -d":" > var.txt
set /p MyNumber=<var.txt
head -%MyNumber% in.txt > out.txt
However, I am looking for a solution that is shorter and that is portable (this one contains Windows specific command set /p).
