I've been using this forum, so I just now joined! I have seen similar questions but nothing has worked so far (mostly using sed). I want to find each instance of an asterisk (*) in a file and delete it and everything after it until a blank line is reached. For example:
*252
253
254
255
(blank line here)
OR
*261
265
(blank line here)
Each block of data will vary in length. Then I want to have output go to a new file. Any ideas?
