using sed(?) to delete a block of text
hello people,
i am trying to accomplish what i thought should be a simple task: find a token in a file and delete a number (let's say 25) of lines following the token. in sed, i can't figure out how to do a relative address (i.e. something like /token/25dd to delete 25 lines) and in gnu grep, if i use the -A 25 option, it only works with a positive match, but not with -v i suppose i could accomplish same by matching the number of open and closed parentheses (), since that's how the file is formatted, but i'm also not sure how to do that ![]() any thoughts would be most welcome! thanks in advance ilya P.S. for example if the file contains: =========== a: ( some text(more) blah (blah) ) b: ( another(word) and stuff(gf) ) =========== i would want to remove the 4 lines from a: to ) |
