An example of how to remove a line with some search text in it. Assume
tmp.txt contains:
# BEGIN (not in file)
abc
def
# END (not in file)
reinplace {$!N;s|^.*abc.*\\n||g} tmp.txt
If you need to include variables -- escape, escape, escape!
set abcVar abc
reinplace "\$!N;s|^.*${abcVar}.*\\n||g"
The result should be:
# BEGIN (not in file)
def
# END (not in file)

Darren
