saleem.khans saleem.khan@mydomain.com
abdul.ghani abdul.ghani@mydomain.com
adnan.siddiqui adnan.siddiqui@mydomain.com

learn sed http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

[lambda]

sed won't help here. awk, perl, python, ruby, or even plain old /bin/sh will.

Dear ranatanveer,
Salam,

sed won't help here. awk, perl, python, ruby, or even plain old /bin/sh will.

Indeed. I totally agree with lambda.

telenor, If you try to search at Porgamming Section of Linux Pakistan, I am sure you will find solution as lambda have given this task to Linux Pakistan Forum Members.

Best Regards.

I don't want to argue with you and lambda, i always respect you from my hear, because i have learned a lot from both of you.

but here i want to share that, i only know bash awk and sed and a little perl, and i am capable to do anything i want to do.

so the request of telenor:

I want a script for user delete & search from the file.

this work can be done simply with 1 line sed (if meaning of telenor saying is same ), as sed has both search and replace/delete patterns. (moreover sed and awk has many more capabilities which are unknown to me )
