Have a go with this:
This looks for the first occurrence of 'pattern' and from there skips the delete portion of the script, so only blank lines before the pattern are deleted.
It assumes your 'blank lines' are empty lines (no whitespace). If you truly have whitespace, then you can replace the delete with something like you've been using.
On Unix, it is easy to get those lines that match a pattern, by
grep pattern file
or those lines that do not, by
grep -v pattern file
but I am editing a file on Windows with Ultraedit.
Ultraedit support regular expression based search and replace.

tcl_stringmatch
Tcl_StringMatch(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_StringMatch(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_StringMatch(string, pattern)
int
Tcl_StringCaseMatch(string, pattern, nocase)
ARGUMENTS
char *string (in) String to test.
char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against string. May contain special characters from the set *?[].
int nocase (in) Specifies whether the match should be done case-sensitive (0) or case-insensitive (1).
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1. Otherwise
Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for matching is the same algorithm used in the ``string match'' Tcl command and is similar
to the algorithm used by the C-shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details. |
In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive. If you choose this (by |
passing nocase as 1), then the string and pattern are essentially matched in the lower case.
KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string
