Remove rows which include the word pattern
Hi,

I'm trying to remove rows that including specific word, but the below is replacing only the first occurrence, how to do this for the all occurrences within the file.
Code:
grep -v "mdsMVLink\|mdsMVMembership\|mdsMVLinkType" sfile.txt > dfile.txt

Could someone help me how to accomplish this?

P.S : My source file contains mdsMVLink in one line and mdsMVMembership is some other line.

Thanks, John.
