I guess I'm a newbie too but did you try:
DENY = ^Subject:.{0}$
($ = End of String) You could also try:

See if either of those work.

hi everybody
Can anyone tell me how do I search and replace a
pattern in file using shell(BASH).
file abc.txt contains

202.88.143.72:23
The time 14:18:54 (hours:mins:secs) needs to be
replaced by 14:18 (hours:mins) for "n" number of lines in a file

Perl searches for a regex in a string, rather than matching a pattern on

The distinction was invented in this thread. I don't think you will
