Regex to pick up name from the following including carriage return at end of the line

has anyone got any suggestions how i would pick up the string as part of a substitution inclusive of the carriage return.

ie
i want to pick up <<NAME>> from the PS output but the <<; seems to be on the line before the NAME.

Any ideas are appreciated!

\(\<\).*\(\<\).*\(N\).*\(A\).*\(M\).*\(E\).*\(\>\).*\(\>\)

(<ps file output> | <the_sed_command_below...>)

sed '
:loop
$!{
/<<$/{N; s|<<\nNAME>>| **something** |;}
/\\$/t loop
}'

This can be improved upon, but this should get you started.

From the look of your data - you'd need a number of commands....becasue the <<NAME>> could be line broken at any point across the field....is this so?

<
<NAME>>

or

<<
NAME>>

or

<<N
AME>>

etc.....

According to the code above, this should be

<<
NAME>>

BUT... as a catch all Smilie <w/ corrections ... my bad!>

sed '
$!{ /<<*N*A*M*E*>*$/N; }
s/<\n*<\n*N\n*A\n*M\n*E\n*>\n*>/ **something** /;
'
