Find pattern in a file and erase it
Hello,
I'd like to find pattern in a file and erase line containing that pattern and 2 lines below that pattern. I know how to find pattern with grep -r pattern and erase line containing that pattern, but can't figure out the rest, how to erase 2 lines below that pattern line. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance
