Replace multiple lines between tags using sed
I have a file example.txt with content look like this:
and I use a sed command to replace everything between <TAG></TAG> as below:
PHP Code:
sed -e 's/\(<TAG>\)[^<]*\(<.*\)/something/g' example.txt > example.txt.new
But unfortunately, the command failed to replace as i want, it only work if the content between the tags are not break into multi-line. Could someone please explain how to solve this case?
Thanks a lot.
