I have a text file similar to this:



A
B
C
D
E
F
G


and I need to:



  1. move line E before line C;

  2. replace line C with X (X could be multiline);

  3. replace line G with Y (Y could be multiline);

  4. remove lines D and F.

This is the sed file I have now:



/C/ c
X
/G/ c
Y
/D/ d
/F/ d


which does 2, 3, 4 but not 1. How can I fix the script to move E before C?



Note: I cannot rely on line numbers or contiguity of lines, which may vary; I can only rely on pattern matching.
