Hi all coders,

I need a help to process some data.

I have this file,

Code:

                              Ignoring the policies listed above. (OpC40-1899)

What I need is to search a word "Selected" or "Page:" and delete that line as well as next 4 lines. These are the lines which are in bold.

Can we use sed here, actually I come across an example in which we can specify a line and delete next few lines from it.

delete few lines after a specific line

Code:

# delete 6 lines from line 8
  sed -i 8,+6d file.txt

.

I am sure "sed/awk" can help me but not able to use, tried google and many hit and trials, but could not succeed.

Pls help.

Thanks in adv.

Regards,
VIKAS
