SED to remove a line above and lines below.
SmilieHi All,

I need help on removing lines in a text file.

Sample file :
Quote:

Client=0x 0
IPAddress=113.211.45.33
Client=0
ClientV=0
........
Uncomp=0
Comp=0
When there is a match ip for IPAddress in my `cat ip.out`, proceed delete line above until string "Comp" is found.

Thank you very much.

I found very useful SED in this forum but i got no idea how to manipulate it.

Code:
sed -rn '/(0\.0000 *){6}/{n;n;x;d};x;1d;p;${x;p}'

Smilie
