I'm very new to ripgreb, but very impressed by it.

I have a very special triggy case that I was wondering if could be done

Say I have two markdown files

...
## 5.9 Subheading

plz, plz, plz do NOT find me!

# 6 Heading

## 6.1 subheading

plz, plz, plz FIND me!

## 6.2 subheading

plz, plz, plz do NOT find me!
...

and

...

## 6.1 subheading

plz, plz, plz FIND me too!

## 6.2 subheading

plz, plz, plz do NOT find me too!
...

Would it be possible to search within ## 6.1 and ## 6.2 for lines with more than one comma per line?

So it displayed something like this

$rg <magic-search term>

221 plz, plz, plz FIND me!

256 plz, plz, plz FIND me too!

Currently I just do this to see it

rg '## 6.1' --before-context 0 --after-context 4

but that does not search for multiple commas after '## 6.1' or limit the search to be after

---

UPDATE

I found a "solution" for ripgrep and just dropping it here:

$rg '## 6.1.*## 6.2' --multiline --multiline-dotall 

220 ## 6.1 subheading
221 plz, plz, plz FIND me!
222 ## 6.2 subheading

255 ## 6.1 subheading
256 plz, plz, plz FIND me too!
257 ## 6.2 subheading

Currently it also prints out the headers (## 6.1 and ## 6.2)

Trying to avoid that by doing something like this but that just removes this first # and not the entire line

$rg '(?:(?!## 6.1).)*## 6.2' --multiline --multiline-dotall --pcre2

220 # 6.1 subheading
221 plz, plz, plz FIND me!
222 ## 6.2 subheading

255 # 6.1 subheading
256 plz, plz, plz FIND me too!
257 ## 6.2 subheading

Thanks goes to chriserin

Converting my comment to answer so that solution is easy to find for future visitors.

You may use this awk:

awk -F, '/^## 6\.1 /{p=1; next} /^## 6\.2 /{p=0} p && NF > 1' file

Flag p will be set to 1 when we encounter ## 6.1 and will be reset when we encounter ## 6.2.

To use with wildcards that also prints filenames:

awk -F, '/^## 6\.1 /{p=1; next} /^## 6\.2 /{p=0}
  p && NF > 1{print FILENAME ":", $0}' *
