Help removing multiple lines from one file with a list from a second file!
I am trying to remove the lines listed in example File A from File B to achieve File C. Both files are much larger than the examples below. (File B has up to 6,000 lines).
I have searched the forums and I have not been able to find an answer to this particular question.
I tried
Code:
grep -v -f fileA.txt fileB.txt > fileC.txt
but this removed everything in File B that had any of the numbers listed in File A (for example it also deleted rows 30,35,65, etc...)
I'm trying to find a command which will allow me to remove a range of lines (2-4) from a .dat file from the command line without opening the file.
Someone mentioned using the ex command?
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks (6 Replies)
