removing a line containing a pattern in sed
i need to use sed to remove an entire line containing a pattern stored in a variable say $var1
this var1 will be a URL and will therefore contain slashes

any help would be greatly appreciated

The pattern can be delimited by any character, the syntax is :
Code:
\cregexc

For example (with the character °)
Code:
sed '\°https://www.unix.com°d'

If the regex is store in the variable var, you can do (note \ must be doubled because it's inside ") :
Code:
sed "\\°${var}°d"
