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.
Here's what I got. (Cannot use perl)

#Start Perms
export HOME=/home/test_user
# End Perms... (6 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
fixnt
fixnt(1) Debian fixnt(1)NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.
SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps
DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter
that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1).
The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation
and takes no options on the command-line.
OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options.
BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.
AUTHOR
fixnt was written by Holger Bauer <Holger.Bauer@topmail.de>, Michael Rath <rath@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>, and Akim Demaille
<demaille@inf.enst.fr>.
REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.
Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>.
