How to have awk to get range or boundary of the beginning to a pattern
tried 1 fails as

$ echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nend\ne\nf\ng\n' |awk '1,/end/ {print $0}'
a
b
c
end
e
f
g
this for all as pattern works

$ echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nend\ne\nf\ng\n' |awk '/b/,/end/ {print $0}'
b
c
end
but back to question how to get range or boundary of the beginning to a pattern?
