Hi,

I'm trying to delete several lines from the beginning of file till the
appearance of a specific pattern, without deleting the pattern. I have
used the following command:

:1,/Citations: /d/e-10

but the offset doesn't work.

Try this:

         :1,/Citations: /-1d

Caution: This works except in the case when pattern is found in the 1st line.

That's work fine, thanks!

Can I ask another question? How can someone substitute or delete a block of text which expands to more than one line? E.g. the text:

Morning bgfn nbgfn............................more text..
........more text...............
....................... end of text.

Can I use a sth like this?

s/Morning,text/anothertext
