i want to remove both the line starting with "=" and "(" but i can only remove one at a time..so how do I go about removing both of them?

One way:

Code:

awk  '!/^\=+/ && !/^\(/ '  your_file

Something like this?

Code:

grep -v '^[(=]' inputfile > outputfile

finalight · #4 05-15-2008

now i got another problem

my dashes "---" "---" are not at the first line, and iwant to remove them as well
however when i try to do this:

Quote:

grep -v '[=-(]' test.txt

it won;t remove the dashes at all

can you please explain the pattern to me?

and it says event not found

rubin · #6 05-15-2008

To remove the dashes too, use:

Code:

awk '!/^\=+|^\(|^\-+/' your_file

If your OS doesn't recognize awk , try nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on solaris.

it recognizes awk, but it doesn't recognizes '/^\' this particular pattern
