Hi,

The content of my text file is as below.How can I remove the dashed lines present in the file.The below content is the result of a queries executed in the sybase.
set nocount on in sybase just removes the rows affected.

The "isql -b" option to remove header and dashed lines works fine when executed from prompt,but not from the script,when I connect to sybase through script.


more test.txt.

Thanks in advance......

sed -i '/---/d' test.txt
Do a dry run first without the -i.
Btw, I put three dashes there just out of a whim.

Hey thanks man...it works without -i option.....
