How will you remove blank lines from a file using sed and grep? ( blank line contains nothing or only white spaces).
I run the below commands of sed and grep but grep isn't giving output as desired. Why?
(there is a space before tab in character class)
The above sed command gave desired result but not grep. Why?
Also, I am fix at one more place. As, tab is 011 (octal) but in my system the zero of 011 is accepting as o (alphabetic) instead of numeral zero. If I give numeral zero, it won't work. Is it O.K.? A few days back by mistake a system file got deleted becz of which link count is not showing properly. Can this be a reason for the above problem.
Waiting eagerly for your valuable replies.

edit by bakunin: please use CODE-tags
I find it hard to believe that either of these commands did what you want. The \o11 needs to be \011 (i.e., digit zero; not lowercase letter oh).
To make it clearer to readers, you could also replace your bracket expression with [[:space:]].
I am really lost I don't know what this line does. Please help I'm very lost. Thanks in advance.

OK, I am trying to become more familiar with grep and sed.
I have a file that is storing some records. I am allowing a user to
search for a keyword in the file with this:
grep -i "$keyword" testFile|sed -n -e 's/^/\
/' -e 's/:/\

I have a file that contains many instances of double dollar signs. I want to use sed to get the first occurrence. for example, given the following data.

I only want to pull out:

TXT2REGEX(1) General Commands Manual TXT2REGEX(1)NAME
txt2regex - a Regular Expression Wizard, written with bash2 builtins
SYNOPSIS
txt2regex
txt2regex --nocolor|--whitebg
txt2regex --all|--prog <p1,p2,...,pN>
txt2regex --showmeta|--showinfo <program>
txt2regex --make <target>
txt2regex --history <value>
DESCRIPTION
txt2regex is a Regular Expression "wizard", all written with bash2 builtins, that converts human sentences to regexes.
With a simple interactive interface, you just answer to questions and build your own regex for a large variety of programs, like awk,
emacs, grep, perl, php, procmail, python, sed and vim. There are more than 20 supported programs.
It's bash so download and run, no compilation needed.
Please visit the program homepage at http://txt2regex.sf.net.
OPTIONS --all works with all registered programs
--help prints the help message and quit
--history <value>
prints to STDOUT a regex from a history data
--make <target>
prints a ready regex for a common pattern
--nocolor
self-explanatory
--prog <p1,p2,...>
choose which programs to use (separated by commas)
--showinfo <program>
prints regex info about the program
--showmeta
prints a complete metachar table for all programs
--version
prints the program version and quit
--whitebg
colors adjusted to white background terminals
By default, all options are turned OFF. Just call it with no options to launch the default interactive interface.
DETAILS --all is cool but requires lots of lines (~35)
--nocolor is strong, so it kills --whitebg
--showmeta rules, try it
--showinfo uses reverse video output, --nocolor turns it off
--history is getting useful, stay tunned
--make is a remedy for headaches
--prog is nice to use your favorite programs, mix it with --make and --history
EXAMPLES
Calling the program on the default interactive interface
$ txt2regex
Calling the program on a white terminal
$ xterm -fg black -bg white ; txt2regex --whitebg
Getting information
$ txt2regex --showmeta
