Who has the luck to use a real OS, not a baby tool :-), has the system tool grep to solve the problem. What a luck, perl got this tool too. Some oneliners to solve problem: perl -e "print grep {! /home/} (<>)" your_file >file_without_home_lines (is good for small files) perl -e "{/home/ || print} while (<>)" your_file >file_without_ (works good, but is 2 chars longer) And of course, Jeff has shown us the standard way.
