[DUP] [CLOSED] sed regexp tamplate, covering 3 strings

[cz0]

Hi folks!
I'm trying to make a tamplate for sed (s command) to replace 3 strings, looking like this:
;aaaaaaa
;bbbbbbb
;cccccccc

with strings like this:
aaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
ddddddd

but as it's 3 strings new line eatch, I have no clue how to make a tamplate. sed is called from bash script. I've tryed something like this:

[klixon]

s/;\(.\)/\1/
for readability: s|;\(.\)|\1|

the \1 in the replacement is a reference to the part between brackets in the regexp
