exclude file for grep

[NattyP]

On Linux, I can issue the command

grep -v -f <filename>

to ignore many values from the grep output.

I keep getting an error on Solaris. Can anyone say how it can be done.

What's the error? I don't think the -f option is used for this in Solaris, but I may be wrong. Maybe you could write a loop to go though each file in turn and do your grep?

When one door closes another one bangs shut too.

Just do

grep -v filename
