Thanks for the answer.
But it is not the exact one i need, since in my case, the line number for first part, above the first blank line, maybe variable.
It would be great if there is a way to get the line from "1111" to the line above the second blank line, the line 5 in my sample.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
