cli-sedHow do I delete a line using the command line sed tool?

To delete a line using the command line sed tool, you can use the d command. This command will delete the line that matches the pattern that you specify.

For example, if you want to delete the line containing the word "hello" in a file called "example.txt", you can use the following command:

sed '/hello/d' example.txt

The command will delete the line containing the word "hello" from the file "example.txt".

The parts of the command are as follows:

• sed: This is the sed command line tool.
• /hello/: This is the pattern that we want to match.
• d: This is the command that tells sed to delete the line that matches the pattern.
• example.txt: This is the name of the file that we are modifying.
