Woops. Obviously I missed the crux of the problem. Apologies for the noise.

How about:
Code:
sed 'N; /^\([^\n]\{1,\}\)\n\1/s/.*\n//'
That will inspect a pair of lines to see if the first is a leading substring of the next. Then it moves on to the next pair of lines. There is no overlap between pairs. 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc ... are inspected, not 1-2, 2-3, 3-4. Your problem statement wasn't explicit in this regard, so I chose the simpler of the two to implement.
Example:
Code:
$ cat data
ab
abcd
12
345
ef
efgh
$ sed 'N; /^\([^\n]\{1,\}\)\n\1/s/.*\n//' data
abcd
12
345
efgh
the file contains the follwoing lines

Hi,
I need a sed line that will find all lines that contain "<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">" and then replace the entire line (not just that one string) with "<int key="NSWindowStyleMask">8223</int>". It doesn't necessarily have to use sed as long as it gets the job done :)

Literally cannot get this one, guys. Single line replacement is simple, but I am not understanding the correct syntax for including a new line feed into the substitution part.

export HOME=/home/test_user

GMTLOGO(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools GMTLOGO(1gmt)NAME
gmtlogo - Adding a GMT graphics logo overlay to an illustration
SYNOPSIS
gmtlogo dx dy [ -Gfill ] [ -W[pen] ] >> plot.ps
DESCRIPTION
This scrips appends the GMT logo to an "open" PostScript file. The logo is 2 inches wide and 1 inch high and will be positioned with the
lower left corner at the position (dx,dy) relative to the current plot origin.
OPTIONS -G Select color or pattern for filling the underlying box [Default is no fill]. (See SPECIFYING FILL below).
-W Set pen attributes for the outline of the box [Default is no outline]. (See SPECIFYING PENS below).
SPECIFYING PENS
pen The attributes of lines and symbol outlines as defined by pen is a comma delimetered list of width, color and texture, each of which
is optional. width can be indicated as a measure (points, centimeters, inches) or as faint, thin[ner|nest], thick[er|est],
fat[ter|test], or obese. color specifies a gray shade or color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below). texture is a combination of dashes
`-' and dots `.'.
SPECIFYING FILL
fill The attribute fill specifies the solid shade or solid color (see SPECIFYING COLOR below) or the pattern used for filling polygons.
Patterns are specified as pdpi/pattern, where pattern gives the number of the built-in pattern (1-90) or the name of a Sun 1-, 8-,
or 24-bit raster file. The dpi sets the resolution of the image. For 1-bit rasters: use Pdpi/pattern for inverse video, or append
:Fcolor[B[color]] to specify fore- and background colors (use color = - for transparency). See GMT Cookbook & Technical Reference
Appendix E for information on individual patterns.
SPECIFYING COLOR
color The color of lines, areas and patterns can be specified by a valid color name; by a gray shade (in the range 0-255); by a decimal
color code (r/g/b, each in range 0-255; h-s-v, ranges 0-360, 0-1, 0-1; or c/m/y/k, each in range 0-1); or by a hexadecimal color
code (#rrggbb, as used in HTML). See the gmtcolors manpage for more information and a full list of color names.
