How about this:

Code:
grep -Ev "test|twinning|yellow" file1

or this using your for loop + sed method:

Code:
vars="test twinning yellow"
for i in $vars
do
    args=$args" -e /$i/d"
done
 
sed $args file1

ldapscripts

ldapscripts(5)							File Formats Manual						    ldapscripts(5)

NAME

       ldapscripts - Scripts to manage POSIX accounts in your LDAP directory.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldapscripts are a set of shell (sh) scripts designed to manage POSIX accounts in an OpenLDAP directory. They can be used as standalone
       tools or within Samba 3.x's smb.conf file.

REQUIREMENTS

       The main requirements are the OpenLDAP client tools (ldapadd, ldapsearch, ldapdelete, ...). Other commands are called in  the  scripts  but
       should come with your OS (sed, grep, cut, ...).

CONFIGURATION

       The  main  configuration  of  the  ldapscripts  is  usually the file /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.conf (or /usr/local/etc/ldapscripts/ldap-
       scripts.conf, depending on your system). Modify it to fit your needs before using the scripts. Each script also uses a "runtime" file, usu-
       ally /usr/lib/ldapscripts/runtime (or /usr/local/lib/ldapscripts/runtime). You don't need to modify this file.

TEMPLATES

       Each  script  that  adds  information to the directory uses a template. Templates are directly embedded at the end of the scripts but it is
       also possible to use external template files (see GTEMPLATE, UTEMPLATE and MTEMPLATE variables in the configuration  file).  Each  template
       consists  of  a	preformatted  LDIF file using special keywords that will be replaced on-the-fly. Sample files are provided for your conve-
       nience : ldapaddgroup.template.sample, ldapadduser.template.sample and ldapaddmachine.template.sample. It is strongly advised to use  those
       files instead of modifying the embedded (default) templates in the scripts.

       Sample templates include every keyword you can use. One special additional keyword is the <ask> keyword that will trigger user input to get
       the attribute value interactively.

USING AS STANDALONE TOOLS

       Each script can be used as a standard command-line tool. Check their man pages to get help.

USING WITH SAMBA 3.x
       Each Samba 3.x smb.conf "xxx script" option has a matching script. Modify you smb.conf file this way to call them :

       # [...]
       add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapaddmachine '%u' sambamachines
       add user script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapadduser '%u' sambausers
       add group script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapaddgroup '%g'
       add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapaddusertogroup '%u' '%g'
       delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapdeleteuser '%u'
       delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapdeletegroup '%g'
       delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapdeleteuserfromgroup '%u' '%g'
       set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/ldapsetprimarygroup '%u' '%g'
       rename user script = /usr/local/sbin/ldaprenameuser '%uold' '%unew'
       # [...]

BUGS

       Sometimes,  that kind of message may appear in the log file : Additional information: value does not conform to assertion syntax .  Setting
       slapd's debug level to 32 shows additional details : get_ava: illegal value for attributeType uidNumber .  This is *not* a bug : the  ldap-
       scripts	tend to use the power of LDAP filters to easily find users (or groups) using either a uidNumber (numerical value) or a uid (string
       value). The following filter (used by ldapfinger(1)) will generate the above message if $_USER  is  a  login  :	"(|(&(objectClass=posixAc-
       count)(|(uid=$_USER)(uidNumber=$_USER)))   (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(|(cn=$_USER)(gidNumber=$_USER))))"   because  filter  part  "(uidNum-
       ber=$_USER)" requires an integer but gets a string. You can mostly ignore those warnings.
