Okay, so, somehow, this perl script I'm working on gets like 1 million plus signs in it, and gets saved. Don't ask how, I'm not sure. Autosave feature or something. Anyway, the file won't load because of how many there are, so I need some way to get rid of them. Help?
Yea, it's just line 145. About a million, give or take. +++++ times a lot. Gah.
Okay, fired up nano. I guess there are only just over 100,000 + signs on that line. I'm either gonna be sitting on the delete key all night, or. something. help!
Okay guys, that was close, but sed saved my ass there.
sed '145d' badfile.pl > goodfile.pl
Ok that's better than
But wouldn't going into vim and doing a dd on the line work too?Code:sed 's/+\+//' script >newscript
That's what I was thinking...
I hate how gentoo makes nano the default $EDITOR...
It would, but I don't have vim installed. I try to run a clean system
Seriously, vim is just a little too complicated for me to remember how to use. I should learn though.
