Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sed - using value returned by W+ Post 302543849 by Nigel_R on Tuesday 2nd of August 2011 08:50:42 AM

Thanks - I'm reading the sed pages at grymoire at the moment, and having a play with your sed to try and gain a better understanding.

If the text varies, however, it fails:
Code:
 
#limerick There was a young lady from Nantucket..
\images\Blank.jpg
Blank
:end
#joke A horse walked into a bar,
and the barman said
\images\Blank.jpg
:end
other text #joke A bear and a rabbit.
\images\Blank.jpg
:end

to
Code:
 
#limerick There was a young lady from Nantucket..
\images\limerick.jpg
limerick
:end
#joke A horse walked into a bar,
and the barman said
\images\joke.jpg
:end
other text #joke A bear and a rabbit.
\images\joke.jpg
:end

using something like
Code:
/#\w+/,/:end/

to define a start/stop could suit my need better. Is this possible?
