thank you, and sorry, if i had formulated wrong, but the "SOMETEXT#X" is a random STRING, like:
$ cat testfile.txt alsjflsajfkljasdf <br><font size=3>asfklasjlkyxcvo</font><br> <br><font size=3>kldfjlkasjdfasdf</font><br> kasfjxcvklajdflas
yxcvkjasafjads <br><font size=3>asdfjkldjlasj</font><br> </font></div></body></html> uiyxzckjhasfsd $
$ awk 'BEGIN {sawpattern=0} "^SOMETEXT, ^SOMETEXT" {if (($0 ~/<br><font size=3>SOMETEXT/ ) && (sawpattern == 0)) {sawpattern=1} else {sawpattern=0;print $0}}' testfile.txt alsjflsajfkljasdf <br><font size=3>asfklasjlkyxcvo</font><br> <br><font size=3>kldfjlkasjdfasdf</font><br> kasfjxcvklajdflas
yxcvkjasafjads <br><font size=3>asdfjkldjlasj</font><br> </font></div></body></html> uiyxzckjhasfsd $

hyphen's [ - ] are just for marking the start/end of a pattern, but there are _not in_ the pattern! "OUTPUT" is what i want after "seding" the PATTERN#X's
so i for e.g.: need the first, and second "magic" sed "FIRSTMAGIC" PATTERN#1 sed "SECONDMAGIC" PATTERN#2
PATTERN#1:
SOMETEXT#1 <br><font size=3>SOMETEXT#2</font><br> <br><font size=3>SOMETEXT#3</font><br> SOMETEXT#4
"exact pattern", what is unique from the pattern:

OUTPUT:

i just can't figure it out, how to "sed" when having several lines [nor in awk, perl..]
could anyone post a link, or some guide, how to write these two lines of "sed"?
Thank You! :\
