Deleting lines in text file
Hi everyone,
I have text files that I want to delete lines from. I have searched through this forum for quite some time and found examples of both awk and sed. Unfortunately, I was not able to successfully do what I want. Well to some extent. I did manage to delete the first 15 lines from each of the text files, since all the text files will have the same first 15 lines. So, I have a text file that looks like this: Id First Name Last Name --- ---------- --------- 1 Mary Jane 2 Joe Blowe 2 record(s) selected. Return Status = 0 Notice the lines in bold....every text file will have this at the end. This file will be emailed and the recepients won't have a clue to what those two lines mean, so I would like to remove them. Any suggestions? THANKS! |

Hmm..that did not seem to have any results...but thanks anyways. What I did is:
awk 'FNR>15' myfile |grep -v -e "record(s) selected." -e "Return Status" > mynewfile Don't know if that is the wrong way of doing it. I am sure you experienced folks will have a better way of doing it, but alas, it accomplished what I wanted. Thanks again!! |
