I'm trying to write a script to delete all line that include a certain

that they do not need. I'm trying to use the sed command to remove lines
that fits a certain pattern but it does not appear to remove anything.
Any helpful ideas or any useful links to scripts.
You can use something like:
cat yourfile | grep -v pattern >newfile
If there are several patterns to be removed, use something like:
cat yourfile | egrep -v "(pattern1|pattern2|pattern3|...)" >newfile
The unofficial UNIX guru law says: Using cat with one and only one
argument is prohibited! Just a joke, but typing
grep -v pattern <yourfile >newfile
saves system resources, doesn't it?
