sed to remove next 15 lines after pattern in Solaris
Team,

I am trying to use sed to delete 15 lines, after pattern patch, which includes the pattern as well in Solaris. I used the below command, as we do it Linux, but it's not working as expected in Solaris.

I am getting the error as "garbled".
Code:
sed '/\/table/,+15d' status.html
sed: command garbled: /\/table/,+15d

Any help would be really appreciated.

For example, below are the lines, and I need to delete the lines from </table>, till table border='1' width='90%' align='center' summary='Script output'>

Code:
...........................................

<td align="right">
       211
</td>
<td>
SYNC
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border='1' width='90%' align='center' summary='Script output'>

SO, the output should be something like this.


Code:
09-JAN-2018 02:00
</td>
<td align="right">
       211
</td>
<td>
SYNC
</td>
</tr>
<td>
PROD
</td>

Please let me know if you need more details.

Please wrap your code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.

It works fine for me (CentOS6) but perhaps mine is not too strict on the command formation. As a first stab, do you perhaps need a space between +15 and d?

Hi Robin,

Thank you for the response.

Please note that I do not have space between +15 and d.

The Solaris sed man page doesn't mention the "incremental" second address (as opposed to e.g. FreeBSD or linux)

So, you meant to say, I can not achieve, what I am looking for using sed

Hi rdrtx1,

Nope. The below is not working, as expected.

Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed '/\/table/,+15d' status.html
