vi + regexp + substitute
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 |
