First: if your input file and output file are the same than sed will destroy the file. Use a different file for output.
Second: have a look at the man page for sed, about line ranges. You also might want to read
this thread for an explanation and an example for how this works.
I hope this helps.

The exit status of all functions is that of the command 'awk', with '0' for success
