Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting deleting the lines at the end of the file. Post 302452154 by momin on Thursday 9th of September 2010 11:59:02 AM

Hey bud, The line no. 16 is not deleted because it is not empty!
Now that you have managed to delete the 17th totally empty line, delete line number 16 (containing '16' at the beginning of the line) like this:

PHP Code:
sed '/^16/d' file newfile 
What it does is it deletes the line 'starting with' 16.

Let me know if that helped

(FYI - verified this on HP-UX)
