Hi All,
I have a file it contains 1600 lines. it is like
aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee
xxx,bbb,fff,hhh,uuu
vvv,mmm,kkk,ppp
....
I want to delete lines which contains "bbb". (there are to many lines for "bbb")
how can I do this ??
Thanks
Alice.
alisev,
This is already been answered. Search the forum.
sed '/bbb/d' your_file_name > new_file_name
You can use grep as well.
There is an option "-v" that prints all except for what follows the -v option.
cat filename |grep -v bbb > filename.out
If you wanted to get rid of blank lines as well add " |grep -v ^$ " into the command line.
cat filename |grep -v bbb |grep -v ^$ > filename.out
ENJOY!!!
