Move few lines after a pattern match to another position (just before another match) in shell
Giving an example to explain the problem.
I have a file with
AAA
BBB
CCC
DDD
EEE
FFF
ABAB
ACAC
GGG
HHH
I want to shift 2 lines after match ABAB to just before DDD. So, the modified file would look like:
AAA
BBB
CCC
ABAB
ACAC
DDD
EEE
FFF
GGG
HHH
Looking for some cool way to handle this preferably using sed.
sed
