sed help	by imrambi	2009-04-10 11:05:27
I'm looking to remove text between a set of tags in xml including the tags. The beginning tag will not be on its own line, and the ending tag will be on a different line, then followed by another opening tag. Example: ... </tag1><tag id="name"> <xml data> <xml data> </tag><tag2> ... The tag id="name" is unique, but name might not be. After the sed command, I want the output to be: </tag1> <tag2> or </tag1><tag2> Either one is fine by me. This is one Windows using tools in Msys.
