Using SED to remove entries in a file

[menace212]

How can I access a file in Unix and the use SED to remove certain entries in a program. For instance:

Software:

Entire Distrubution plus OEM support 1.2
64-bit iconv conversion for Eastern European locales 5.7
64-bit iconv conversion for Eastern European locales 5.7

ABI 1.0
ABI Application Certification Tools 5.8/on28-patch:01/118

Apache Web Server 1.3.9
Apache Web Server (root) 5.8/Generic
Apache Web Server (root) 5.8/Generic
Apache Web Server (root) 5.8/Generic


I want to remove the sub titles using sed. First I want access the file and then remove the sub titles with SED.
Any ideas?

Can you give me an unix script example how I would open the file then use the sed in it.

Ex.

open("/tmp/sofware&quot
sed '/^ /d' <tmp/software >tmp/software.new

Would this be the format?

Why open the file ? The sed command do it by itself.

As I see all needed lines start on the beginning of the line and all unneded lines contain some spaces on the beginning. Thus a simple grep would do:

cat tmp/software | grep -v &quot;^ &quot;

or something like that...

--Trifo
