Got a sed question for you: I'm creating a sed filter to mask out and
delete unwanted characters in a trace file. I'm having trouble with this
configuration:
LINE I: PROMPT>
LINE I+1: >
LINE I+2: <
Whenever I see this series, I want to delete ALL THREE lines. I can't
create a pattern /PROMPT\>\\n\>\\n\</d as far as I can tell, because
sed won't allow patterns to span lines. Is there a way to do this, without
resorting to awk or ed?
