It works for me:
Code:
pwc101@example_win ~ $ cat abc.txt
hjhj.sh
jhdj.txt
skf.pdf
jks.dat
jk.shd
vsh.txt
sh.ro
pwc101@example_win ~ $ egrep -v "*\.sh$" abc.txt
jhdj.txt
skf.pdf
jks.dat
jk.shd
vsh.txt
sh.ro
pwc101@example_win ~ $
Try
Code:
grep -v -E "*\.sh$" abc.txt > def.txt
instead.
grep -E and egrep are synonymous.
I tested this on RedHat:
Code:
pwc101@example ~$ grep --version; echo; cat /etc/redhat-release; echo; bash --version
