hi

its not working.

I explain you my problem. let i have a file
abc.txt it contains
hjhj.sh
jhdj.txt
skf.pdf
jks.dat
jk.shd
vsh.txt
sh.ro

I want to create another file which contains
jhdj.txt
skf.pdf
jks.dat
jk.shd
vsh.txt
sh.ro

Now what is solution of this?

Thanks
MKSC

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

grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1
