RedHat Deleting the lines exist between the Mattched Patterns
Hi,

I have a file with the content:

Code:
 
for name in \
sree\
rama\
laila\
srihari\
vicky\
john
do
   echo $name
done

I need to remove all the name lines that exist between for (first line) and do line so that i can replace with new names.

Output file should look like:
Code:
 
for name in \
do
echo $name
done

when i use the below command, it is deleting for line and do lines as well.

Code:
sed -i '/for/,/do/d' file

Please take for line and do line as a reference because we may not sure about the number of lines between for line and do line. Those lines get changed every time.

Thanks in advance!!

-SREE

NAME

       viewperl - quickly view syntax highlighted Perl code

SYNOPSIS

       viewperl [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       View a Perl source code file, syntax highlighted.

       -c, --code=CODE
	      view CODE, syntax highlighted

       -l, --lines
	      display line numbers

       -L, --no-lines
	      supress display of line numbers (default)

       -m, --module=FILE
	      consider FILE the name of a module, not a file name

       -n, --name
	      display the name of each file (default)

       -N, --no-name
	      supress display of file names (implied by --no-reset)

       -p, --pod
	      display inline POD documentation (default)

       -P, --no-pod
	      hide POD documentation (line numbers still increment)

       -r, --reset
	      reset formatting and line numbers each file (default)

       -R, --no-reset

       -T, --no-tabs

       --help display this help and exit

       Note that module names should be given as they would appear after a Perl `use' or `require' statement.  `Getopt::Long', for example.

       Each string given using -c is considered a different file, so line number and formatting resets will apply.
