using grep and rm to remove a pattern in a file ? 1

[megawicked]

Ok... I have a huge log that is built when a system audit is ran. I don't really care to show the output of lets say.... /var/sadm/pkg

If I want to remove every line in that file containing the string /var/sadm/pkg/* how would I go about that ?

Thanks For the help,

RRD

Hi

Don't know if this is the best option, but it will work :

fgrep -v '/var/sadm/pkg/*' filename > filename1
mv filename1 filename

Hope it helps
