This should be pretty simple... I have a file something like: xxxx 1111 yyyy 2222 zzzz 3333 aaaa 4444
I want to delete the entire line with "zzzz". "sed /zzzz/d" goes to standard out, but I don't want to redirect it to a temp file, and then overwrite the original over or similar, unless that's my only easy option. I just want a plain command to strip out that line out. I'd prefer Borne shell stuff like awk, sed, as opposed to using Perl.
