delete matching in multiple lines sed

[Soren Orel]

whops, wrong example, this one's the good:
echo -e "something\n</tr>\n<tr>\n</tr>\nsomething" | sed
"s/<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>/<\/tr>/g"
And this is not working :D
$ echo -e "something\n</tr>\n<tr>\n</tr>\nsomething" | sed
"s/<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>/<\/tr>/g"
something
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
something


I just want to swap the:
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
to this:
</tr>
