this is just a subsitution command , it just subsitutes
ALIINE+ANOTHERLIN+YETANOTERLINE with ALINE

it could alo be done with sed :
sed -i "s/ALINE\nANOTHERLINE\nYETANOTHERLINE/ALINE/g"  script.txt


But what i really want to do is

if a certain pattern (A+B+C )
 A
 B
 C
is found  then bellow pattern A  delete pattern B and C
