Hammer & Screwdriver Search from 1st match and end 2nd match
I've been looking through the forums for awhile now and looking at the man page for grep and egrep and not seeming to find this scenario so it might not be possible but figured I'd throw it out to get some ideas.

I'm looking for a way to search a file for 1st match (example below net self) and end search when it runs into 2nd match (example below } character) and output those results. Eventually I will want to edit those lines (either delete each line OR replace matching IP Address)

Code:
net self /Common/198.74.92.130 {
    address 198.74.92.130/25
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/VLAN221
}
net self /Common/vPC-Interconnect-Floating {
    address 10.47.194.100/27
    allow-service {
        default
    }
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1
    vlan /Common/VLAN233
}
net self /Common/10.47.32.2 {
    address 10.47.32.2/23
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/VLAN215
}
net self /Common/10.47.194.40 {
    address 10.47.194.40/27
    allow-service all
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1
    vlan /Common/Interconnect
}

Since I'm far from being knowledgeable but love to learn I have tried what I do know which includes some awful ideas like
Code:
grep ^net self * }

Code:
egrep ‘^net self+}$

Code:
grep ‘^net self.*}$'

I found an example of possibly using awk and tried
Code:
awk ‘/net self/{if (NR!=1)print "";next}{print $0}END{print "";}

If I understood your request better, I perhaps could be of better help. Try
Code:
sed -n '/net self/,/}/p' file

which doesn't feel right for the second record, but without better specs?

wow, impressive. This gave me a great start which worked. I made a minor change to only include IP Addresses

Code:
sed -n '/net self \/Common\/[0-9]/,/}/p' file

Now it lists everything, how do we do the same thing but delete what we find?

For example, I perform the search and using the example above I would like to delete a result that contains vlan /Common/VLAN215 as well as vlan /Common/VLAN233

Would it be best to search and put results in an array to delete? Just not sure what the best approach would be.

I'm way over my head and looks like I may have went in the wrong direction for the correct solution.

I need to remove VLAN215 from this configuration file but its difficult to see the pattern to make that happen. Sometimes its on a line of its own and others its multiple lines. Really difficult to wrap the head around.
Code:
net route-domain /Common/0 {
    id 0
    vlans {
        /Common/Interconnect
        /Common/Sync-Failover
        /Common/VLAN215
        /Common/VLAN221
        /Common/VLAN233
        /Common/VLAN252
        /Common/VLAN216
    }
}           

net self /Common/10.47.32.2 {
    address 10.47.32.2/23
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/VLAN215
}  

net self /Common/10.47.32.1 {
    address 10.47.32.1/23

    vlan /Common/VLAN215

I wonder if this does what you want?

Code:
perl -00 -ne '/vlan\s+\/Common\/VLAN2(15|33)/ and next; s/\s+\/Common\/VLAN2(15|33)//g; print' djzah.vlan

Code:

    id 0

        /Common/Interconnect
