Hi all, I have what's probably a simple question, but it stumping me. I am trying to develop a multi-line regex that will look through a text file and look for any lines that start with an ipaddress, but also the next line must contain "OS Type: unknown" and then insert a carriage return in front of the line with the ip address above that. I cant insert a CR in front of just any line that starts with an ipaddress. i.e.

10.1.1.1

bogus info

10.1.1.2

this could be anything

10.1.1.3

OS Type: unknown

10.1.1.4

filler information

10.1.1.5

OS Type: unknown

etc....

Any assistance would be appreciated... Thanks!
