Extract using sed

xerox · September 28, 2011, 2:16am

Given a file with contents

 /arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.o
> /arch/powerpc/boot/.4xx.o.cmd
> /arch/powerpc/boot/addnote
5766a5769
> /arch/powerpc/boot/.addnote.cmd
5768a5772,5773
> /arch/powerpc/boot/bamboo.o
> /arch/powerpc/boot/.bamboo.o.cmd
5769a5775,5778
> /arch/powerpc/boot/cpm-serial.o
> /arch/powerpc/boot/.cpm-serial.o.cmd

I want to remove lines ending with *.o and *.o.cmd and redirect to another file.

Can anyone suggest a sed command for this?

awk '! /o$|o.cmd$/ {print} ' inputfile > outputfile

Hi,
Try this one,

 egrep -v '.o|o.cmd' inputfile >outputfile

Cheers,
