Script to search for a character in files in a Directory & remove it
Hi All,
Am new to both Unix & this Forum - Need some help on a script that I am trying to write:
In a Directory i have few text files which might or might not contain some text that I am trying to find.
Once that text is found in any of the files, it needs to be removed from the file
Example ::
Lets say I am in Directory : "ritu/direct"
Inside "ritu/Direct" directory, I have "a.txt" & "b.txt"
The character that I am trying to find in these files is "#"
So, I need the script to be able to search all the files in the directory & look for a "#" & remove the "#" from the line in the file it was found in
Could anyone please help me on this
Thanks in Advance
