Hi, spacegoose: Code:
$ cat data foo: bar foo: moo blarg i am on vacation foo: goose foo: lucy foo: moose foo: stucky groover@monkey.org foo: bozo grimace@gonzo.net dear sir - blargo blargo foo: goon foo: sloppy foo: saudi gimme gimme gimme i have something for you foo: mad foo: happy foo: foo Using SED: Code:
$ cat spacegoose.sed
#n
/^foo:/!{
:top
p
/^foo:/!{
n
b top
}
}
$ sed -f spacegoose.sed data
blarg
i am on vacation
foo: goose
groover@monkey.org
foo: bozo
grimace@gonzo.net
dear sir - blargo blargo
foo: goon
gimme gimme gimme
i have something for you
foo: madIf you require a blank line after each sequence: Code:
$ cat spacegooseLF.sed
#n
/^foo:/!{
:top
p
/^foo:/!{
n
b top
}
s/.*//p
}
$ sed -f spacegooseLF.sed data
blarg
i am on vacation
foo: goose
groover@monkey.org
foo: bozo
grimace@gonzo.net
dear sir - blargo blargo
foo: goon
gimme gimme gimme
i have something for you
foo: madUsing AWK: Code:
awk '!/^foo:/,/^foo/' If you require a blank line after each sequence: Code:
awk '!/^foo:/,/^foo/{print; if(/^foo/)print ""}'Cheers, Alister Last edited by alister; 03-10-2010 at 04:11 PM.. |
