Here`s what I'm trying to do:
convert input that looks like this:
/*
Some Text Here
*/
8888.999
/****
...
To input that looks like this
/*
Some Text Here
*/
4.3
/****
I know sed should be able to do this, but I can't figure out
1. How to do carriage returns (\n doesn't work as I'd expect).
and 2. How to match characters like / and *
Can a sed guru show me the light?
Thanks,
-Rob
