I kept inner for loop my mistake. I was initially planning to take backup of the files then forgot to remove it from there.
This is not a homework, I stuck in between writing a command sequence upon request received from superior on an urgent basis. Any help will be really appreciated.
As you can see in my initial post that I already covered the parts of replacing find and with with their corresponding changes. I am only stuck to remove ; and/or run only from the lines occurring above line starting with word list.
I know the command to remove the single line using PATTERN, following is the code:
but I stuck for removing pattern only if occurs in above line where list keyword is found.
In your response, -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*;[[:blank:]]*$//' "$i".bak > "$i" code only replaces ; irrespective of checking that it should appear in above 1 or 2 lines where the code begins with list occurs.
Actually, I want to remove ; and/or run only from the lines occurring above line starting with word list.
I apologize if I am not clear in explaining the situation. Please let me know if I need to explain more.
Please help.
Thank you.

git-stripspace
GIT-STRIPSPACE(1) Git Manual GIT-STRIPSPACE(1)NAME
git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace
SYNOPSIS
git stripspace [-s | --strip-comments] < input
DESCRIPTION
Clean the input in the manner used by git for text such as commit messages, notes, tags and branch descriptions.
With no arguments, this will:
o remove trailing whitespace from all lines
o collapse multiple consecutive empty lines into one empty line
o remove empty lines from the beginning and end of the input
o add a missing
to the last line if necessary.
In the case where the input consists entirely of whitespace characters, no output will be produced.
NOTE: This is intended for cleaning metadata, prefer the --whitespace=fix mode of git-apply(1) for correcting whitespace of patches or
files in the repository.
OPTIONS -s, --strip-comments
Skip and remove all lines starting with #.
EXAMPLES
Given the following noisy input with $ indicating the end of a line:
|A brief introduction $
| $
|$
|A new paragraph$
|# with a commented-out line $
|explaining lots of stuff.$
|$
|# An old paragraph, also commented-out. $
| $
|The end.$
| $
Use git stripspace with no arguments to obtain:
|A brief introduction$
|$
|A new paragraph$
|# with a commented-out line$
|explaining lots of stuff.$
|$
|# An old paragraph, also commented-out.$
|$
|The end.$
Use git stripspace --strip-comments to obtain:
|A brief introduction$
|$
|A new paragraph$
|explaining lots of stuff.$
|$
|The end.$
