how to delete a line from the file
Hi,
I have a file which contains entries with different numbers, for example:
275|24hroff|sel,fill,dbw|
2758|24hroff|sel,fill,dbw|
2765|24hroff|sel,fill,dbw|
2920|24hroff|sel,fill,dbw|
I need to delete a line which contains certian number, for instance 275
I was trying to use 'sed' but it removes all lines containing this pattern, so line with number 275 and 2758 are removed. I need to remove the exact match only. Also, number is an argument in my script. For example, PX=275
May be somebody come across a similar problem. I am in ksh88
Thanks a lot for any help -A

net::http::nb
Net::HTTP::NB(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::HTTP::NB(3)
NAME
Net::HTTP::NB - Non-blocking HTTP client
SYNOPSIS
use Net::HTTP::NB;
my $s = Net::HTTP::NB->new(Host => "www.perl.com") || die $@;
$s->write_request(GET => "/");
use IO::Select;
my $sel = IO::Select->new($s);
READ_HEADER: {
die "Header timeout" unless $sel->can_read(10);
my($code, $mess, %h) = $s->read_response_headers;
redo READ_HEADER unless $code;
}
while(1) {
die "Body timeout" unless $sel->can_read(10);
my $buf;
my $n = $s->read_entity_body($buf, 1024);
last unless $n;
print $buf;
}
DESCRIPTION
Same interface as "Net::HTTP" but it will never try multiple reads when the read_response_headers() or read_entity_body() methods are
invoked. This make it possible to multiplex multiple Net::HTTP::NB using select without risk blocking.
If read_response_headers() did not see enough data to complete the headers an empty list is returned.
If read_entity_body() did not see new entity data in its read the value -1 is returned.
