Suppose I have a bash variable with multiline text inside it.

$ TEXT=$(cat<<-EOTEXT                   
line1                
line2                
======                 
line3
line4
======
EOTEXT)

$ echo  "$TEXT"
line1
line2
======
line3
line4
======

How do I extract a text between =====? The desired output is:

line3
line4

Please note that the line could be from 3 to 4000, so it should not be line specific.

Are the trailing spaces intended? – Cyrus Jun 05 '19 at 19:30
The example wouldn't work, by the way, `EOTEXT` must be on a line on its own, so `)` has to go on the next line. – Benjamin W. Jun 05 '19 at 20:37
