Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for me. Even though sed stops reading after seeing the "### command list" line, I suspect that its stdin buffer has been filled with other lines that follow it from the input to the buffer size, consuming what you meant to feed the later 'grep $matchgrp"' with.

This is a one-time thing, so I do not mind to update the Makefile so that it does not feed command-list.txt from the standard input but gives the path as "$1" to this script.
