I have multiple html files. I need to remove the same chunk of code from 
all of them.
I have made a bash loop to feed the files to sed, but am struggling with 
the sed code.

I need to delete all the code between

<!-- lockon:a:1
-->
and

<!-- lockoff
-->
Including the above comments.

I have tried, played with N, d substitution to // but can't pattern 
match across multiple lines.

Any ideas ?
   

You can handle that sort of thing in perl pretty easily. The syntax is
pretty similar and the performance is about the same. However you get to
use variables, conditions, loops, etc.

...mmm... perl, I have heard of it but not played with it yet.
