Why use something as heavyweight as find, it will attempt to go through subdirectories and take ages to return, you could simply do something like the following.
I'm trying to delete lines from a large text file using VI.
Every line that I am wanting to delete start with 'S' - all others do not. (A list of users)
I've tried using * but doesn't seem to like it...any ideas...
Doesn't have to be VI - but I'm better with VI than sed/awk. (8 Replies)
I was wondering what the difference was between the two commands, I understand that locate won't search for files with certain permissions set. Are there any others?

I need to add code to a shell script to find out if a string matches any item in a list, where the list can contain a wildcard character.
For example, if I have the following list:

Then I want to compare a particular string to see if it matches any item in... (11 Replies)
These 2 websites do a GREAT job of explaining different types of wildcards. I learned about the categories of characters which I never knew about at all.

DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1)NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files
SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates
DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program.
This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified
files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output.
This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus
several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the
english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference.
So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the
translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the
main file (which might be more up-to-date).
This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last.
OPTIONS --outdated
Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message.
--drop-old-templates
If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire
template.
