P

Print first part (up to embedded newline) of multi-line pattern created by N command. Same as p if N has not been applied to a line.

Example

Suppose you have function references in two formats:

function(a,b,c) function(a,          b,          c)

The following script changes argument c , regardless of whether it appears on the same line as the function name:

s/function(a,b,c)/function(a,b,XX)/ /function(/{ N s/c/XX/ P D }
