Hi, We have a file with about 10,000 lines. I would like to remove a whole line based on a pattern. For example... ADD TABLE "accountingprefyr_subsc" AREA "systemdata" LABEL "Accounting Preference Year" DUMP-NAME "acctyear" The 2nd line here starts with AREA " We have noticed that this is always on its own line. So basically the pattern should be AREA "*. * Being the wild card for whatever comes after. So when parsing through the file, whenever it finds this patterns, I would like to delete the line completly. Can someone please help me on this.
with awk Code: awk '!/AREA/{print}' "file" > newfile mv newfile file with sed Code: sed -i '/AREA/d' file
