I am trying to delete all the lines in a particular file having a pattern. The problem is that it has special characters and for some reason is not doing the job.
Hello All,
I like this forum btw, and have only been lurking for about a day.
Recently I purchased some new hardware (AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and a Asus K8V Deluxe Motherboard), and I want to find an OS that can take advantage of the 64 bit processor.
Basically, what are the differences... (2 Replies)

Good day, everyone!
Could anybody explain me the following situation.
If I'm running similar script:
Var="anna.kurnikova"
Var2="Anna Kurn"
echo $Var | tr -t "$Var" "$Var2"
Why the output is :
anna KurniKova
instead of Anna Kurnikova?

Let me just say from the start that sed confuses the hell out of me!
In the above line of code how can I use sed to remove all of the 0's except the first one?

locate
LOCATE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCATE(1)NAME
locate -- find files
SYNOPSIS
locate [-d dbpath] pattern
DESCRIPTION
locate searches a database for all pathnames which match the specified pattern. The database is recomputed periodically, and contains the
pathnames of all files which are publicly accessible.
Shell globbing and quoting characters (``*'', ``?'', ``'', ``['' and ``]'') may be used in pattern, although they will have to be escaped
from the shell. Preceding any character with a backslash (``'') eliminates any special meaning which it may have. The matching differs in
that no characters must be matched explicitly, including slashes (``/'').
As a special case, a pattern containing no globbing characters (``foo'') is matched as though it were ``*foo*''.
Options:
-d dbpath
Sets the list of databases to search to dbpath which can name one or more database files separated by ``:'', an empty component in the
list represents the default database. The environment variable LOCATE_PATH has the same effect.
FILES
/var/db/locate.database Default database
EXIT STATUS
locate exits with a 0 if a match is found, and >0 if no match is found or if another problem (such as a missing or corrupted database file)
is encountered.
