Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Find 5 lines and replace with 18 line in sql file where it contains multiple blocks. Post 302354560 by rubin on Friday 18th of September 2009 02:50:45 PM

Save the replacement text in a file ( say repl_file ) and try,

Code:
perl -i.bak -0pe 's/rem.*?f is not null\n/qx(cat repl_file)/es' sql_file

Original file is saved in file.bak, just in case.

P.S.
The text is more readable if you place code tags around the samples/codes.
