Hi,

I have a log file that I'm trying to tidy up using grep. The log file contains a lot of lines like the ones below:

2> change archivelog all crosscheck;
3> release channel;
4> run
5> {
6>
.
.
.
15> exit;

Also it contains a lot of lines like these:
RMAN-06157 : Message....

How can I use grep to clean up this log?

I tried something like

more logfile | grep -v *> RMAN-0* > cleanlogfile

But didn't work. I am getting an incorrect syntax because (i think) i am searching for a string containing '>'. Enclosing it in quotes didn't work either.

Thanks for your help
