Question Removing lines having #
I have a script which goes to different directories and gives the values of all the input parameters, Something as follows

HTML Code:
  cd /opt
grep script-filter = yes *.conf
grep user-and-group-in-same-suffix = yes *.conf
grep worker-threads = 300 *.conf
grep failover-auth = *.conf
grep failover-password = *.conf
netstat -rn
cd /opt/Pddirector/etc
grep sync = *.conf
The result is a output which is as follows
Code:
[JB007@mac901 ~]$ ./VerifyConf.sh 
grep: =: No such file or directory
grep: yes: No such file or directory
# are added to this list then the option [script-filtering]script-filter
[script-filtering]
script-filter = yes
# When script-filter is set to yes, enabling this flag will rewrite
# are added to this list then the option [script-filtering]script-filter
[script-filtering]
script-filter = yes
# When script-filter is set to yes, enabling this flag will rewrite
grep: =: No such file or directory
grep: yes: No such file or directory
# user-and-group-in-same-suffix
user-and-group-in-same-suffix = yes
# user-and-group-in-same-suffix
user-and-group-in-same-suffix = yes
grep: =: No such file or directory

Im trying to just get the output without the lines having the "#"

Please help,

Thanks in advance.

You could try adding another grep to filter out the lines beginning with '#':

grep script-filter = yes *.conf | grep -v '#'

Hope this helps.

To remove comment lines starting with a hash character:

Code:
cat filename | sed -e "/^#/d"

put filename at the end of the sed command

Thx. Prefer left-to-right top-to-bottom in scripts.
Your method is faster in script execution but slower for students to follow.
