sed delete lines containing text1 or text2
I'm trying to find all occurrences of lines with "sometext" or "someothertext" in them in a log file and remove them, then write the output to the same file, so far I have
sed '/sometext/d' logfile which gives me the lines I'm looking for, but how would I do: sed '/sometext/d' or '/someothertext/d' logfile > logfile what am I missing? |

What you are doing should work fine. You just have to name the new file something else not the same file. Like: Code:
sed -e '/sometext/d' -e '/someothertext/d' logfile > logfilenew mv logfilenew logfile |
