    Hi toolic!
    This is a dynamic situation, so range operators won't do.
    I want to remove the text starting at "COMMENT" and
    just before the line that starts with FEATURES.
    Read more... (5 kB)

    Then print from "FEATURES" until the end of the line.

      Perhaps I do not understand your requirements. It would help if you were to also post your desired output. Here is an example using range operators:
      Read more... (5 kB)

      This is the output:

      Read more... (1352 Bytes)
