deleting a line but keeping the same file
Hi,
I want to delete a line in a file that contains a string. I tried:
grep -v "mystring" Myfile > Myfile
But this makes the Myfile empty. I read that I need to do something like:
grep -v "mystring" Myfile > Myfile.new
rm Myfile
mv Myfile.new Myfile
Is there a way to avoid creating a temporary file??
Thanks in advance.
