Hello,
I'm trying to write a script to delete all line that include a certain
pattern in an output file. I sending information to one of our Security
people and they take this data and create a spreadsheet on the
information, I have a constant reoccurring lines within the output file
that they do not need. I'm trying to use the sed command to remove lines
that fits a certain pattern but it does not appear to remove anything.
Any helpful ideas or any useful links to scripts.
You can use something like:
cat yourfile | grep -v pattern >newfile
If there are several patterns to be removed, use something like:
cat yourfile | egrep -v "(pattern1|pattern2|pattern3|...)" >newfile
