Might I suggest:-

grep -v "Hello"

This should do what you need, according to how you describe it above.

More help might be available....

  • if you have errors and you post them.
  • if you have an input that gives unexpected output, and you post them.

Please remember to post all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags. It makes them easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indentation or fixed-width data.

Do you want to know the equivalent option of "grep -v <String> <Filename>" in AIX?

-v flag in grep command is common and standard on all UNIX operating systems. So it will work on AIX.

Hi.

            Displays all lines not matching the specified pattern.

from man grep , q.v.

Now I'm not sure I understand the question.

Does "equivalent" mean something grep-like, but not grep? I don't know any grep that would not have the -v option (save for old Solaris, perhaps, or toy Linux's that you might install on Raspberry PI, etc.)

Even busybox has grep -v.

'grep -v' works as expected on my raspberry pi...

From the man page:

       -v, --invert-match
              Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.  (-v
              is specified by POSIX.)

It even supports the --invert-match "long" option.

Case closed :slight_smile:
