Search and replace with Unix commands

Subject: Search and replace with Unix commands

Hi,

I need to search a string like '\rJohn' or '\nJohn' with another string
All the unix command (Sed, Awk...) works one line at time and the separator is usually LF.
How can I search and replace, not using pure AS because some text file are really bigger?
I would like to use do shell script using cat to read the file and some Unix command to search empty line followed by my string and replace them with something else.

Mark
