I'm looling for a shell script or command line syntax in order to delete lines in a file with a specific content. I want to delete member entries in a database without having to invoke an editor. e.g. database file foo xxyy bar yyzz sec zzaa %script <file> <entry> ; %script database foo -> deletes the first entry (line) in the database. Who can help me?? Reto
