[dev] looking for a sed script

[Edwin Culp]

Quoting Jan Schneider <jan@horde.org>:

 | A little bit off topic though needed for Horde:
 | 
 | I need a sed script that removes all lines before and including the first
 | empty line of the input. I never wrote sed scripts before so any help would
 | be appreciated.

something like

sed  '1,/^[     ]*$/d' file
          ^^^^^^^
There is a space and a tab in the [] just in case :-) it means
0 or more occurrences of any combinations of space/tabs.

or this

sed  '1,/^$/d' file

should work but it does assume that there is a "blank" line because if
there isn't it doesn't print anything.
