I want to delete one line containning "my name" for exemple, with a script.

Can some one help me !

There are alot of ways to do it, shell or perl would be your main bets.

Using a quick grep on the sh:

cat file.txt | grep -v 'my name' > file.txt

Sed has a delete operator as well, so does awk

Hi:

Here's an awk solution. The grep method is probably more efficient:

awk ' {
if(index($0, "my name&quot)
next
else
print $0
} ' data.file > newdata.file
