replacing multiple lines with multiple lines in ascii file

Hi
I would like to make a routine that can replace multiple lines with other multiple lines in a ascii file. This could for example be to replace 7 lines with 4 lines. I can not do it one line at the time because the single lines of the 7 lines are present other places in the file than in the 7 lines.
For single line replacement I have used
fin = fopen('in.txt','r');
fout = fopen('out.txt', 'w+');
while ~feof(fin)
s = fgetl(fin);
s = strrep(s, 'old string', 'newstring');
fprintf(fout,'%s\n',s);
end
fclose(fin);
fclose(fout);
But I can't figure out an easy way to convert this to handle multiple lines replacement.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Regards Brian.

Can you read the whole file in and then just replace the strings?
wholeFile = fileread('myFile.txt');
newStr = 'This is the replacement for line 2 and 3';
oldStr = ['This is line 2' char(13) char(10) 'This is line 3'];
newFileData = strrep(wholeFile,oldStr,newStr);
fileID = fopen('newFile.txt','w')
fprintf(fileID,'%s',newFileData);
fclose(fileID)
Note that char(10) and char(13) are just line breaks and carriage returns.

Two thoughts
- strfind is helpful for finding strings. though, you may find even more use if you just again read the entire files in and then split them using regexp...
>> str = 'this is something, which is separated, by some commas'
>> regexp(str,',','split')
- When debugging stuff like this, i find it very useful to convert things to numeric and display their ascii values on the command prompt from time to time
>> str = sprintf('this is something \n which is separated \r\n by carriage returns and new lines')
>> double(str)

Have you considered regular expressions? the MATLAB function regexprep would probably do the trick:
old_str = [];
rep_str = [];
for i = 1:5
old_str = [ old_str sprintf('Old Line %d\n', i) ];
end
for i = 2:3
rep_str = [ rep_str sprintf('New Line %d\n', i) ];
end
new_str = regexprep(old_str, 'Old Line 2\W+Old Line 3\W+', rep_str);
The '\W+' is a bit of regular expression magic to match one or more whitespace characters, which is why it can span multiple lines.
