In a file containing lines like this one:
# lorem ipsum blah variable
I would like to remove #
(comment) character in the same line that contains a specific string, in place. Is sed
good for this?
I'm struggling to get this conditional working. I have a "clumsy" way of doing this; I can find the matching line number with awk
or sed
and then use this number in a separate sed
command, but I believe that this can be done in a much better way.
