Delete content of file 1 in file 2 with shell script
OK, best is I explain what the operating enviroment is.
Linux, but Motomagx. It is a Linux operated mobile phone, Motorola V8.
I am writting a shell script, but got stuck.
I have to delete the complete content of file 1 in file 2.
I have attached the 2 files.
You can see that the content of file 1 is part of file 2.
I tried it with sed

sed "/${DelPack}/{N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;N;d;}" /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/mpkgRegistry >/mmc/mmca1/tmpreg/mpkgRegistry

whereby $DelPack is the content of file 1 and /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/mpkgRegistry is file 2.
I have to use variables as there will be 10 or more "file 1"'s that make up file 2 and the script is for uninstalling, hence the content of the file 1 of the application that is to be removed has to be deleted from file 2, so that the application does not show up in the menu anymore.
I hope someone can give me a push into the right direction.
If you need some more detail, then please ask.
