Delete all lines ending with /
I have a text file with contents given below:

Code:
file:///About/
file:///About/accessibility.html
file:///About/disclaimer.html
file:///About/disclaimer.html#disclaimer
file:///About/glance/contact_info.html
file:///books/
file:///bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=helppubmed&part=pubmedhelp
file:///books/NBK1969/
file:///books/NBK21101/
file:///books/NBK3831/

My requirement is to delete all the lines which end with /. This means that my output should be:

Code:
file:///About/accessibility.html
file:///About/disclaimer.html
file:///About/disclaimer.html#disclaimer
file:///About/glance/contact_info.html
file:///bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=helppubmed&part=pubmedhelp

This is what I have tried;

Code:
sed -e '/\//d' -e 's/) \(.*\)/ c\1/' 1.txt

It did not work on my Linux system. I am using BASH.

Thanks. Just corrected a bit. It wasn't working on my Linux Box:


Code:
grep -v "/$" 1.txt
Illegal variable name.

This is what I was getting.

I did this:

Code:
grep -v '/$' 1.txt

It worked. But thanks for giving me a direction.
