Dear,
I want to grep lines that not commented from a file, Someone said that I can use $sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*#/d;/^[[:space:]]*$/d' file.conf
but I think it's too long, I have use $egrep -v '^#' file.conf
but it containt so many blank lines. Is there any suggest what should I use ? Maybe like combining egrep with other script.. As simple as possible :)
I've had success with: egrep -v "^#|^$|^ #|^ *#" httpd.conf That strips out empty lines, comment lines that have a # in as the first character, coment lines that have a tab and # for the first two characters and comments that begin with multiple spaces followed by the # character. -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems inspite of Microsoft
