Hi,
I have the following sample text file:
XXX ******** ****** ******
******* ***** ******
*** aaa **** ****
*** *** ******** **
YYY ******** ****** ******
**** aaa *** *** ****
******* ***** ******
*** *** ******** **
XXX ******** ****** ******
* aaa *** **** ****
******* ***** ******
*** *** ******** **
XXX ******** ****** ******
*** *** ******** **
* ** **** ***** ******
aaa **** **** ***
ZZZ ******** ****** ******
****** **** **** aaa
******* ***** ******
*** *** ******** **
with a lot more paragraphs.
*REPLACE RULE:*
I need to replace string "aaa" with "bbb" only in paragraphs that starts
with "XXX".
*ADDITIONAL INFO:*
1. String "aaa" can be anywhere in the file (in paragraphs that do not
start with "XXX").
2. Paragraphs are blocks of text separated with two new -ines characters.
3. Text is Unix like text (only new line character at the end of line to
break a line).
4. There are no spaces or tabs at the end of line.
5. Paragraphs are always separated by two new-line characters, never more
(like three or more).
6. There is no special order of "XXX" paragraphs inside file. "XXX"
paragraphs appear randomly inside file.
7. The "XXX" string is at the beginning of line (no other character before
it).
Regards
