another beginner-type question.
i could've saved myself a lot of work over the weekend if i have checked the php randizer file but i didn't. so now, while this isn't entirely essential, is there a way of using /bin/ed or /usr/bin/ex within in a /bin/sh file to delete to-and-including PATTERN say, each of my 70 fils has FONT SIZE=3 B CENTER is there a way of deleting from the 1st line to CENTER? [[ and from /CENTER to EOF?? i could do this kwik and dirty, and type in/fix any anomalies later, but it would be nice to know. I've already tried 1, /CENTER d and a other such. zip. thanks, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Indirectly, i used -e '/\/CENTER/d' (c) to get rid of thee last 3 lines.
