I want to remove some text from file1.txt
.
I put the text in the file tmp
and do:
grep -f tmp file.txt
But it gives me only the difference.
The question is how to remove the difference from file.txt
.

Doing grep -f tmp file.txt
will display all lines containing the work text
(assume tmp
just contins the work text
). If want to display all the lines that don't contain the word text you need to use the -v
option to invert the match:
$ grep -v 'text' file.txt
If you print all the lines in the file but just remove all occurrences of text
then:
$ sed 's/text//g'
the tmp file contain the text that I want to remove from file.txt. ("text" is not a word).
'grep -v -f tmp file.txt > file_result.txt'
file_result.txt : do not contain text which exist in tmp file – Ellouze Anis – 2013-06-10T11:31:01.870
grep works with lines not individual words. – iiSeymour – 2013-06-10T11:33:32.720

If you want to remove lines from your file.txt
which contains the line where text
is seed then you can do something like:
sed '/text/d' file.txt
or
sed -n '/text/!p' file.txt

What you want to do is
grep -Fvf tmp file.txt
From man grep
:
-f FILE, --file=FILE
Obtain patterns from FILE, one per line. The
empty file contains zero patterns, and
therefore matches nothing. (-f is specified
by POSIX.)
-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings,
separated by newlines, any of which is to be
matched. (-F is specified by POSIX.)
-v, --invert-match
Invert the sense of matching, to select non-
matching lines. (-v is specified by POSIX.)
So, -f
tells grep
to read the list of patterns it will search for from a file. -F
is needed so grep
does not interpret these patterns as regular expressions. So, given a string like foo.bar
, the .
will be taken as a literal .
and not as "match any character". Finally, the -v
inverts the match so grep
will print only those lines that do not match any of the patterns in tmp
. For example:
$ cat pats
aa
bb
cc
$ cat file.txt
This line has aa
This one contains bb
This one contains none of the patterns
This one contains cc
$ grep -Fvf pats file.txt
This one contains none of the patterns

What I do is:
sed '/text_to_delete/d' filename | sponge filename
This will make the change to the source file.

sed -i '/text_to_delete/d' filename

you can make a
sed
command script with the patterns intmp
