Another enigma (for me)
Using VI I edit some files in which I want to erase many lines I don't need anymore
usually I do something like that:
Code:
:%s/line_to_suppress//g
and it is doing fine
but in this case, the pattern to erase contains some special characters
so I do it like that:
Code:
:%s#line_to_suppress_with_special_characters##g
but, the only problem left is that I can't predict what will be the beginning of the line so I wish I could do something like that:
Code:
:%s/*line_to_suppress//g
but of course if I protect the pattern with # to prevent special characters to annoy me... the * don't work anymore
the best way would be to suppress each line containing my pattern, but I don't know how to do that
I'm sure it's pretty easy for many among you, so if one have a bit of time, it would help me a lot
Thanx
