editing a file via a shell script ??
Morning All: I know this might be easy but since I don't do this very often I get stumped real quick... Sun box Solaris 8 ksh...
I need to edit a file via a shell script. In this file I need to locate one specific line and then remove that line plus the next 20 line below that.... Any suggestions on where to start?? I could use sed to search for the first line in question.. but not sure what to do after that.

Code:
sed '/matching line/{;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;d;}'

Sweet.... Works like a champ !!
This was done from inside a script to I had to replace the ' with a " sed "/$delnode/{;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;d;}" myfile Last edited by jimmyc; 03-28-2008 at 09:07 AM.
