Suhen - Actually you've hit one of the limitations of the traditional Unix tools such as awk, sed, etc. The perform multi-line changes only with difficulty. Perl is as powerful and easy to use as each of those individually, and offers incredible strengths beyond those. As a bonus, Perl is available on just about any platform. I have used it quite a bit on MS-DOS, for example. Spend your time learning Perl. There are some excellent manuals on-line.
