sed option to delete two words within a file
Could someone please help me with the following.
I'm trying to figure out how to delete two words within a specific file using sed.
The two words are directory and named.
I have tried the following:
sed '/[directory|named]/d' sedfile
sed '/[directory named]/d' sedfile
both of these options do not work.....
Thanks

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
