Your specification is rather vague. You say you want to remove || ',' || (not including the space before it, but you say cut -d ')' -f3 will give you the text to be removed (which does include the space before it). What do you want to use as the pattern to match: parentheses or vertical bars.
You don't say if you want to modify the file in place or just copy the modified text to standard output.
If you want to remove zero or more spaces followed by two vertical bars followed by any string of characters followed by two vertical bars from the next to the last line and replace the original contents of your file with the change applied, you could try:
Code:
ed -s file <<-EOF
\$-1s/ *||.*||//
w
q
EOF
If you want to copy the updated file to standard output and leave the original file unchanged, try:
Code:
ed -s file <<-EOF
\$-1s/ *||.*||//
1,\$p
q
EOF
If neither of these meet your needs, please give a more precise definition of what you do want.

fvwmscroll
FvwmScroll(1) Fvwm Modules FvwmScroll(1)NAME
FvwmScroll - the fvwm scroll-bar module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmScroll module prompts the user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm.
After that, it adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the total desktop space consumed by the window.
FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or resize themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the WM_COL-
ORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have a private colormap.
COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation.
Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at
your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmScroll gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to
determine which colors to use.
If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called MoreScroll can be
started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmScroll, simply by changing the keyword FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.
INVOCATION
FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file. The parameter x and
y are either integers or integers immediately followed by a p, which describe the horizontal and vertical size modification of the window.
An integer describe a size reduction. An integer followed by a p describe a size as a percentage of the height or the width of a full
screen but the size is never larger than the original window size (0p will do nothing). Fvwm will search directory specified in the Mod-
ulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you
probably don't want to.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
*FvwmScroll: Colorset n
Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmScroll: Back color
Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. Switches off the Colorset option.
BUGS
When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the lower right corner, the window does not restore its location correctly.
