Deleting multiple lines from file
Hi,
I have 10 different strings. I have to delete the whole line matching with any one string.
I can use sed like below
sed '/$keyword1/d' fileList.txt > temp_fileList.txt
sed '/$keyword2/d' temp_fileList.txt > temp_fileList1.txt
.
.
.
Here is the problem i do not have fixed number of strings and I want to eliminate the temp files creation.
Is there any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Shekhar

NAME
amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API
DESCRIPTION
The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.
SCRIPTS
This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.
o amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.
o script-email(8), - send email.
Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
interchangeably.
SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY
A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
sent to the application.
