At a shell prompt / command line, enter:
perl -ne '/string/ or print' file
where stri
$original = "c:\\myfile.txt";
$changed = "c:\\mynewfile.txt";
$searchfor = "john"; # Text identifying line(s) you want removing
open IN, $original or die "Can't open $original: $!";
open OUT, ">$changed" or die "Can't create $changed: $!";
while() {
print OUT unless /$changed/;
}
