Using SED to substitute between two patterns.
Hi All,
I'm currently using SED to make various changes to some .xml files I'm working on, but I'm stuck on this particular problem.
I want to remove '<placeholder>element-name</placeholder>' from the following:
<heading>Element <placeholder>element-name</placeholder> not recognized</heading>
This type of pattern is repeated in several of my files so essentially I'm looking to remove the placeholder tags and whatever is enclosed.
Any help greatly appreciated.

xml::libxml::attributehash
XML::LibXML::AttributeHash(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::LibXML::AttributeHash(3pm)
NAME
XML::LibXML::AttributeHash - tie an XML::LibXML::Element to a hash to access its attributes
SYNOPSIS
tie my %hash, 'XML::LibXML::AttributeHash', $element;
$hash{'href'} = 'http://example.com/';
print $element->getAttribute('href') . "
";
DESCRIPTION
This class allows an element's attributes to be accessed as if they were a plain old Perl hash. Attribute names become hash keys.
Namespaced attributes are keyed using Clark notation.
my $XLINK = 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink';
tie my %hash, 'XML::LibXML::AttributeHash', $element;
$hash{"{$XLINK}href"} = 'http://localhost/';
print $element->getAttributeNS($XLINK, 'href') . "
";
There is rarely any need to use XML::LibXML::AttributeHash directly. In general, it is possible to take advantage of XML::LibXML::Element's
overloading. The example in the SYNOPSIS could have been written:
$element->{'href'} = 'http://example.com/';
print $element->getAttribute('href') . "
";
The tie interface allows the passing of additional arguments to XML::LibXML::AttributeHash:
tie my %hash, 'XML::LibXML::AttributeHash', $element, %args;
Currently only one argument is supported, the boolean "weaken" which (if true) indicates that the tied object's reference to the element
should be a weak reference. This is used by XML::LibXML::Element's overloading. The "weaken" argument is ignored if you don't have a
working Scalar::Util::weaken.
