Use sed/grep/awk to delete everything up until the first blank line

Question

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this, it would be much appreciated.

example

block of            //delete
non-important text  //delete

important text      //keep
more important text //keep

Answer 1

sed '1,/^$/d' file

or

awk '!$0{f=1;next}f{print}' file

Output

$ sed '1,/^$/d' <<< $'block of\nnon-important text\n\nimportant text\nmore important text'
important text
more important text

$ awk '!$0{f=1;next}f{print}' <<< $'block of\nnon-important text\n\nimportant text\nmore important text'
important text
more important text
