I'd use something like this (in Terminal): grep -Ev '^[ \t]*(#|$)' /etc/apache2/httpd.conf > newfile.conf
It means, "grep, using an *E*xtended regular expression, returning only non-matching lines (in*v*ert), lines with a '#' or the end of the line preceded by zero or more spaces or tabs." This omits blank lines, including lines with only spaces or tabs, and commented lines. On Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 9:36:17 PM UTC-4, BeeRich33 wrote: > > Hi folks.
