Greetings,
Okay, I've had a chance to experiment with both solutions, and
both of them work as advertised. For those just tuning in, what
I wanted to do was delete a line in each file in a directory that
had a specific pattern in the line. There were over two hundred
files in the directory, and I

flexible.
Sed would be
