Like grep -v for a string over 2 lines? Sed?

Hi,

I have a log file that I need to monitor as it's being written to, and I want to exclude certain strings from the output. At the moment I'm using ...

Code:
 tail -f LogFileName_`date +%d`.log | egrep -v "First String To Exclude | 2nd string | 3rd string"

...which works OK - but now I need to exclude another specific string and it's a string that is split over two lines.


Could anyone tell me how to do this please?


Thanks very much.




-----
Edit to add ....

I'm sorry. I guess I should have posted this in "UNIX for Dummies".
