Sed syntax

[FinnMan]

sed -e '/word/q' filename

The above deletes everything after the line containing 'word'. How do I change it so that it includes deleting the line containing word?

Thx,
./FM

sed -n '/word/,$p' filename

Ouch --- that just took every line starting with line 'word' and duplicated it once.

awk '/word/{d=1}!d' filename

Let me know whether or not this helps.

If you have nawk, use it instead of awk because on some systems awk is very old and lacks many useful features. For an introduction to Awk, see faq271-5564.

strange - worked just fine under Solaris' stock 'sed'.

Vlad, this is about removing from /word/ to end of file and you print from /word/ to end of file.

Try this:

sed '/word/,$d'
