Sed multi-line match help.

[clonny2]

I am having difficulty trying to get sed to match a sting and also grab the line before and the line after.

IE

#
# MY Text Goes Here
#


I want to match those 3 lines and i can do the rest, which is going to delete all 3 lines from my file.

You could use vi in a script :

vi yourfile << EOF
/# MY Text Goes Here
-
3dd
:wq
EOF

Thanx, but I need the script to run ni-interactively.
I can use vi in a script with out any problem . but thanks for the tip.

Here is the answer. I finally figured it out.

/^#/{
N
/^# My Text*/d
N
/^#/d
}
