Remove lines if the first character is "|"
Hi.
I have a huge file (350 million lines).
I need to delete all lines in it that:
1. Begin with a pipe character -- '|'
2. Or have less than 5 pipe characters in the line
Have been searching for some SED/AWK help for this (which is faster btw on such a ginormous file?) but only found this, but this works with a number not a pipe character.
PHP Code:
On this website:

Much appreciate any pointers.

MB_STRRPOS(3) 1 MB_STRRPOS(3)
mb_strrpos - Find position of last occurrence of a string in a string
SYNOPSIS
int mb_strrpos (string $haystack, string $needle, [int $offset], [string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()])
DESCRIPTION
Performs a multibyte safe strrpos(3) operation based on the number of characters. $needle position is counted from the beginning of
$haystack. First character's position is 0. Second character position is 1.
PARAMETERS
o $haystack
- The string being checked, for the last occurrence of $needle
o $needle
- The string to find in $haystack.
o $offset
- May be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into the string. Negative values will stop searching at an
arbitrary point prior to the end of the string.
o $encoding
-The $encoding parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character encoding value will be used.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the numeric position of the last occurrence of $needle in the $haystack string. If $needle is not found, it returns FALSE.
CHANGELOG

NOTES
Note
The $encoding parameter was moved from the third position to the fourth in PHP 5.2.0. For backward compatibility, $encoding can be
specified as the third parameter, but doing so is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
