Looking for a good way to search & destroy lines
What is a good way to find an entry in a .conf file and then remove all lines associated with that entry?
I have a Samba server running on Linux that I would like to easily add/remove share entries in the smb.conf file without removing or deleting lines that are not associated with that section.
So a typical file would look like this.
[xxxuser]
comment = xxxuser Testing
path = /samba/xxxuser
Read Only = NO
[drew]
path = /tmp
[testgroup]
path = /samba/testgroup
read only = No
So if I wanted to remove [drew] share I guess I would just need to remove all lines including [drew] between the ending ] and the beginning [ ?
Any script ideas?
Thanks,

logadm.conf
logadm.conf(4) File Formats logadm.conf(4)
NAME
logadm.conf - configuration file for logadm command
SYNOPSIS
/etc/logadm.conf
DESCRIPTION
/etc/logadm.conf is the default configuration file for the log management tool logadm(1M). Comments are allowed using the pound character
(#) and extend to the end of line. Each non-comment line has the form:
logname options
where logname is the name of the entry and options are the default command line options for the logadm command. The name of the entry may
be the same as the name of the log file, or a log file name may be given in the options section of the entry. Long lines may be folded
using a backslash followed by a newline to continue an entry on the next line. Single or double quotes may be used to protect spaces or
alternate-style quotes in strings.
The preferred method for changing /etc/logadm.conf is to use the -V, -w, and -r options to the logadm(1M) command, which allow you to
lookup an entry, write an entry, or remove an entry from /etc/logadm.conf.
A full description of how and when /etc/logadm.conf is used and sample entries are found in logadm(1M).
