Hi Jim,
It isn't working for me getting below error :
Code:
grep: /tmp/myproject/content_to_remove/config/Willy: No such file or directory
grep: Mukabya/SUBCAT_INFO.cfg: No such file or directory
mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory

---------- Post updated at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:19 AM ----------

This is what I've tried, but its not working either :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
    for i in $(find /tmp/myproject/content_to_remove/config/ -type f)
    do
        #grep "$line" "$i"
         sed 's/$line//g' $i
    done
done < "/tmp/myproject/content_to_remove/infile.txt"
