This would be reliant on meticulous use of of the “%NNNa" and “|” pairs to
delineate the beginning and end of the bar, which might prove to be a tall
order - perhaps requiring a syntax-testing script to pick up errors before
running sed?
Offended by the ragged line ends after editing, and feeling the OCD-sufferer’s
need to have the bar checks neatly lined up at the end of the line, I routinely
put the bar checks at the _beginnings_ of the bars, thus...
| a4 b c d
| a8 b c d e f g a
| a16 b c d e f g a b c d e f g a b
...instead of...
a4 b c d |
a8 b c d e f g a |
a16 b c d e f g a b c d e f g a b |
...or this...
a4 b c d |
a8 b c d e f g a |
a16 b c d e f g a b c d e f g a b |
…which has the bar checks neatly lined up using tab characters as I type this
email, but will probably come out with a ragged edge when you receive it!
I’m not sure whether sed can omit text up to but not including the second
delimiter.
