search and replace, when found, delete multiple lines, add new set of lines?
hey guys,
I tried searching but most 'search and replace' questions are related to one liners.
Say I have a file to be replaced that has the following:
This is the input file:
What I want to do is, search testing.txt for "EEE". When I find "EEE", I want to delete "EEE" and two lines below it ending in "GGG". I want to replace "EEE" through "GGG" with the input.txt file. So the ending results will look like:
I know how to search for single lines of code and replace that line with something else.
How do I say "find this line, delete three lines down, replace it with text from this input file"?
thanks.
