Thanks, this something more advanced than integration by parts :)
Only issue I suffer with this is that I hoped to extend the approach
to more interesting case:
Integrate[
Log[Abs[x - a]]*Sin[x - b]/(x - b), {x, -Infinity, Infinity}]
This integral appears in solving boundary problems in semi-infinite
domain.
Would you please suggest something?
