Dear list. I could not find a mailing list about 'sed' (there is an very
inactive Yahoo Group though) so I wish to try some luck here. Sorry for
OT.
I've got a situation that looks like require using variable and not
possible to process with sed. But I am not sure. Can someone suggest me
if this task is out of scope of sed?
The input document is sections of data separated by an empty new line;
in each section there are a few lines. It's like this:
dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: ABB
ahkCreateTimeStamp: 19960328000000Z
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
createTimestamp: 20060425094550Z
dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: paulblome
sn: Blome
createTimestamp: 20060417071950Z
modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
modifyTimestamp: 20060630094026Z
The above sample showed two sections in input data. It's required to
process the data in following rule:
if a data section has "ahkCreateTimeStamp: abc", replace it with
"createTimestamp: abc" and remove the original "createTimestamp:
def" line;
That is, the result data of above sample should be:
dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: ABB
createTimestamp: 19960328000000Z
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: paulblome
sn: Blome
createTimestamp: 20060417071950Z
modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
modifyTimestamp: 20060630094026Z
