any savant ? using AWK/SED to remove newline character between two strings : conditional removal
I'd like to remove (do a pattern or precise replacement - this I can handle in SED using Regex )
---AFTER THE 1ST Occurrence ( i.e. on the 2nd occurrence - from the 2nd to fourth occurance ) of a specific string : type 1
-- After the 1st occurrence of 1 string1 till the 1st occurrence of string2 not counting the latter.
e.g.
Code:
Begin Transaction ;
She sells
sea shells
by
the
sea shore
End Transaction ;
Begin Transaction ;
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells.
End transaction ;
Begin Transaction ;
The shells sh
e sells a
re sea-sh
ells, I'm s
ure.
/* Notice How I made the above English incoherent by putting newline breaking words, those newline need to go */
End Transaction ;
Code:
replace function ()
Blah
- How do I go about knocking of the newline char between Last Begin and End transaction pair
Program Thought : Go find the 3rd Begin transaction statement and knock off the newline until the 1st end transaction statement

GROFF_ME(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GROFF_ME(7)NAME
groff_me - troff macros for formatting papers
SYNOPSIS
groff -me [ options ] file ...
groff -m me [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the GNU version of the -me macros, which is part of the groff document formatting system. This version can be
used with both GNU troff and Unix troff. This package of troff macro definitions provides a canned formatting facility for technical
papers in various formats.
The macro requests are defined below. Many troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be used
with impunity after the first .pp:
.bp begin new page
.br break output line here
.sp n insert n spacing lines
.ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
.na no alignment of right margin
.ce n center next n lines
.ul n underline next n lines
Output of the pic, eqn, refer, and tbl preprocessors is acceptable as input.
