sed for this awk command

wisher115 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-26-2008

Hi what would be the sed equivalent of this awk command:
awk '/$getsn/{getline;next}{print}' file

It deletes the variable found and the next line after it in a file.
Thanks

d
}" file

Also can be written as

Code:

sed "/$getsn/{N;d;}" file
