Deleting with SED

[Fozzeebear]

I need to delete particular blocks of text from a file using Sed.

Using '/AAA/,/BBB/d' I can delete from string AAA up to and including BBB. However, what do I need to use to delete from AAA up to and including the next line after BBB?

Is there an alternative for Sed that can be used to do this?

I'd use awk:

/AAA/{f=1}
/BBB/{f=2;next}
f==0{print}
f==2{f=0}

Hope This Helps, PH.
