Question search a word and delete consecutive lines below it

Hi all coders,

I need a help to process some data.

I have this file,
Code:

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. Smilie

Pls help.

Thanks in adv.

Regards,
VIKAS

control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed
