How to Grep more than one line to get all the thread content
How to Grep more than one line to get all the lines under that thread.
I already tried grep -A,-B,-C , but that seems to get more than or sometimes less than what i need.
$cat text.txt
=====================================================================
[11-23-18 10:07:01:119]::Thread(ABC):request returned
[11-23-18 10:07:01:120]::Thread(ABC):Sending packet 'POST /aq/ConManager HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:192.168.1.1
User-Agent: gSOAP/2.7
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1149
Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
SOAPAction: ""
[11-23-18 10:07:01:121]::Thread(XYZ): doing request
[11-23-18 10:07:01:122]::Thread(XYZ): request returned
================================================================
Now, if I use grep -A 10 ABC text.txt, it will output all other lines like thread XYZ. Wherein I only want to output all ABC thread and it's lines.And If I use only grep it will not output succeeding lines after the ABC thread.

You may use
awk '/^[[^]*]::Thread(ABC)/,/^$/' file > newfile
It matches a block of lines between two patterns, the second one matches an empty line and the first one matches:
^- start of a line
[- a[
[^]*- 0+ chars other than[and]
]- a]
::Thread(ABC)- a::Thread(ABC)substring
See the online demo.

You may use
awk '/^[[^]*]::Thread(ABC)/,/^$/' file > newfile
It matches a block of lines between two patterns, the second one matches an empty line and the first one matches:
^- start of a line
[- a[
[^]*- 0+ chars other than[and]
]- a]
::Thread(ABC)- a::Thread(ABC)substring
