Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Remove multiline text between brackets Post 302877557 by climatron on Monday 2nd of December 2013 07:22:39 AM

I don't read perl, but this solved my problem.

For reference, if I was testing for another character, e.g. between parenthesis or square brackets, are any of the above "{" or "}" special?

So for example,

Code:
perl -0777pe'
  s/\([^)]*\n+.*?)\s+/\n/sg;
  s/\(.*?)\s+//sg;
  s/\n+/\n/sg
  ' infile

doesn't work for parentheses, I don't think?
