Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting sed not applying /d "delete line" option Post 302993501 by drysdalk on Friday 10th of March 2017 11:56:16 AM

Hi,

This is certainly a messier and less efficient solution, but in the absence of word boundaries in your sed implementation you could maybe do something like this ?

sed -e "/^cat /d" -e "/ cat$/d" -e "/ cat /d"

So specifically checking for lines starting with 'cat' and then a space; lines ending with a space and then 'cat'; and lastly lines containing 'cat' surrounded by a space on either side. And so on in that fashion, if there are any other cases that would occur in your input (you'd have to consider punctuation marks, etc).

As I say, messy, but you could cobble something together in this way maybe.
