FIRST=`grep -n "^L" file.dat | head -1 | awk -F":" '{print $1}'`
LAST=`grep -n "^L" file.dat | tail -1 | awk -F":" '{print $1}'`
awk -vFIRST=$FIRST -vLAST=$LAST '(NR > FIRST && NR < LAST) { print $0 } ' file.dat
a kludge but I've just tried it and it appears to work here... you could do similar things with sed and tail/head but hey :)

Subject: [HPADM] Text Processing - Removing First/Last Page
I don't do a lot of text processing in Unix so I don't know what tool will do what I want.
Basically I would like to be able to remove the first and last page from a ascii file in Unix. Pages are separated by a ^L
Do I need to use Perl or is there a standard Unix tool for doing this?
Thanks so much!
