How would you remove a specific string from a text file (command line) e.g.
hello
goodbye
goodbye
hello
hello
hello
goodbye
In this case I would like to remove all occurrences of "goodbye"
Either linux or Windows, (as longs as the linux command is available in GNU)
sed -i -e 's/goodbye//g' filename
To delete multiple words:
sed -i -e 's/\(goodbye\|hello\|test\|download\)//g' filename
If you are looking for Linux file through Vi mode. Please find below solution which helped me out
:g/goodbye/d - This will delete all goodbye's
:%g!/goodbye/d - This will delete all except goodbye's
