2  Alan         HR              3000
3  Lupe        IT                2500
4  Lili           Desing        1500

i need to create a script in Unix, the user has to provide the Id to remove from the file.

For example, if the use type id=3, then i have to remove the complete line from the file,

results:
Code:
ID Name      Department Salary
