Looking for a good way to search & destroy lines
What is a good way to find an entry in a .conf file and then remove all lines associated with that entry?
I have a Samba server running on Linux that I would like to easily add/remove share entries in the smb.conf file without removing or deleting lines that are not associated with that section. So a typical file would look like this. [xxxuser] comment = xxxuser Testing path = /samba/xxxuser Read Only = NO [drew] path = /tmp [testgroup] path = /samba/testgroup read only = No So if I wanted to remove [drew] share I guess I would just need to remove all lines including [drew] between the ending ] and the beginning [ ? Any script ideas? Thanks, |
