wgrep works well for every line in context search like grep -C 2. It also works for grepmail, special grep-like program for mailboxes. You can edit each line of output.
How to force pcregrep with multiline request like ^[ \t]+-.*\n +CLOCK to cooperate with wgrep correctly (with ability to edit each line, not only the first)?
I have created such one-liner
f=filename(s).org; diff --unchanged-group-format='' <(grep -i -nH -e [.]* ${f}) <(pcregrep -v -M -nH -e "^[ \t]+-.*\n +CLOCK" ${f})
which is used instead of grep command in grep-mode.
