I have multiple html files. I need to remove the same chunk of code from 
all of them.
I have made a bash loop to feed the files to sed, but am struggling with 
the sed code.

I need to delete all the code between

<!-- lockon:a:1
-->
and

<!-- lockoff
-->
Including the above comments.
     

Do you want to specify a range like this:

  sed '/<!-- lockon:a:1/,/<!-- lockoff/d' /tmp/tmp.txt
   

Oops!  I forgot about the closing the lockoff comment:

# sed -f /tmp/tmp.sed /tmp/tmp.txt

# cat /tmp/tmp.sed 
/<!-- lockon:a:1/,/<!-- lockoff/{
       N
       /-->/d
       D
}

 

Many thanks, it works great ... just playing with it to get how it works !

Dave
