Hi,

I have taken over maintaining some sed scripts and need a bit of help.

I have a file that launches a few sed commands like:

...
sed -f $SCRIPT_PATH/keep_jsp $LOGPATH/report > $REPORT_PATH/jsp1
sed -f $SCRIPT_PATH/keep_htm $LOGPATH/report > $REPORT_PATH/htm1
...

and the 'keep' file is as follows:

...
/ *\.pdf */!d
...

Basically this example keeps only the lines that have .pdf in them.
What I want to do is keep both .pdf and .kml

How can I modify just the one line in the 'keep' file to not delete pdf and kml lines? I don't want to mess with the whole structure of the scripts and change the sed line (the first file) to inclide -e's and stuff like that.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not tested, but at least give it a try
/ *\.pdf */p
/ *\.kml */p

try to use grep if you like...

No, that didn't work.

Any other ideas? I need to do this in on line and not change any of the other functionality.

If I do the following:

------------------
/ *\.pdf */!d
/ *\.kml */!d
------------------

all I get is the lines that have .kml in them.

I want to basically have both lines applying but need them in one line (if you get what i mean)

thanks,
Rob

Try this:

sed '/\.pdf/!d; /\.klm/!d;\' file will work across the board (sun, linux, bsd)
