Deletion of a line in a file using perl on solaris
I am trying to delete a particular line in a file using a perl program on solaris. I tried sed but it is not working.
I tried sed /pattern/d filename but it failed. Then I realized that I was actually passing a variable (containing a word of the line that has to be deleted). So basically i was trying sed /$var/d filename which was obviously failing.
So i modified it with a backslash before the variable hoping that would solve my problem
sed /$var/d filename
but that too didn't work. The file remains the same.
