Hi,
Tried to look for solution, and found something similar but could not adapt the solution for my needs..
I'm trying to match a pattern (in this case "ProcessType")in a logfile, then delete that line and the 4 following lines.
The logfile looks as follows:
Code:
ProcessType: PROCESS_A (0) <---- delete this
SequenceNumber: 8285 <---- delete this
<---- delete this
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:679 0:8285 <---- delete this
<---- delete this
ProcessType: PROCESS_A (0)
SequenceNumber: 8286
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:679 0:8286
ProcessType: PROCESS_B (68)
SequenceNumber: 40689
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:698 68:40689
DATA that should not be deleted
ProcessType: PROCESS_B (68)
SequenceNumber: 40690
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:698 68:40690
DATA that should not be deleted
ProcessType: PROCESS_C (93)
SequenceNumber: 36235
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:829 93:36235
ProcessType: PROCESS_C (93)
SequenceNumber: 36236
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:829 93:36236
DATA that should not be deleted
I tried this:
Code:
sed -e '/\<ProcessType\>/,/$/d' < log.txt > test
But that only resulted in this:
Code:
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:679 0:8285
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:679 0:8286
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:698 68:40689
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:698 68:40690
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:829 93:36235
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:829 93:36236
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:945 91:89062
2009 Mar 07 22:04:23:945 91:89063
2009 Mar 07 22:04:24:018 91:89064
2009 Mar 07 22:04:24:018 91:89065
2009 Mar 07 22:04:24:018 91:89066
