How to delete blank line/s before and after a search pattern?
Hi,
Test file x.txt below. This file is generated by a program that I unfortunately do not have control on how it gets presented/generated.
What I am wanting to do is below:
Replace any line that starts with create to be create or replace.
Search for the REUSE SETTINGS TIMESTAMP string and delete all the blank lines that precedes it and any blank lines after it.
At the moment, I am deleting all blank lines using
The main reason I am wanting to retain some of the blank lines is for clarify and to make it easier reading the code.
While deleting all the blank lines work, it makes it difficult to read the generated code. Not removing the blank lines in the REUSE SETTINGS section gives error when running the SQL script.
If I can't use sed/awk to do what's required maybe I should be write some sort of cleansing script?

Test::Inline::Content(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Inline::Content(3pm)NAME
Test::Inline::Content - Test::Inline 2 Content Handlers
DESCRIPTION
One problem with the initial versions of Test::Inline 2 was the method by which it generated the script contents.
"Test::Inline::Content" provides a basic API by which more sophisticated extensions can be written to control the content of the generated
scripts.
METHODS
new
A default implementation of the "new" method is provided that takes no parameters and creates a default (empty) object.
Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content" object.
process $Inline $Script
The "process" method does the work of generating the script content. It takes as argument the parent Test::Inline object, and the completed
Test::Inline::Script object for which the file is to be generated.
The default implementation returns only an empty script that dies with an appropriate error message.
Returns the content of the script as a string, or "undef" on error.
