Deleting lines from a stream after matching a pattern
Hi,

I have a requirement to to an ldapsearch and remove the shadow attributes in the output file.
What I do is ldapsearch() | operation to remove shadow > FILE
The ldapsearch gives output like this(with same line formation):

Code:
objectClass: FSConfig
objectClass: extensibleObject
fsCAIP: 1.1.1.1
fsCAPort-shadow: '<fsCAPort-shadow status="previous" currentValu
 e="ODA4MA==">ODA4MA==</fsCAPort-shadow>'
fsCAIP-shadow: '<fsCAIP-shadow status="previous" currentValue="M
 TAuOC4yMDcuNTQ=">MTAuOC4yMzIuMTcx</fsCAIP-shadow>'
fsCAPort: 8080
fsName: C=IN
fsName-shadow: '<fsName-shadow s
 tatus="previous" currentValue="Qz1JTg==">Qz1JTg==</fsN
 ame-shadow>'
...

I need to remove content starting from *-shadow to -shadow' for all instances.
i.e., My expected output is
Code:
objectClass: FSConfig
objectClass: extensibleObject
fsCAIP: 1.1.1.1
fsName: C=IN

How do I achieve this with sed/awk/grep/ anything else. Your help in this regard is much appreciated!

pwconv

pwconv(1M)						  System Administration Commands						pwconv(1M)

NAME

       pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd

SYNOPSIS

       pwconv

DESCRIPTION

       The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd.

       pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is
       already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified.

       If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with  information  from  /etc/passwd.  The	command  populates
       /etc/shadow  with  the  user's  login  name,  password,	and  password  aging  information. If password aging information does not exist in
       /etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to  /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated.

       If the  /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed:

	   Entries that are in the  /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file.

	   Entries that are in the  /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow.

	   Password attributes (for example, password and aging information)  that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the  correspond-
	   ing entry in  /etc/shadow.

       The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user.

FILES

       /etc/opasswd
