find string and erase whole line ?

[alisam]

hi,
i want to search in a file eg. "get.txt" for a string "getget". After that search is done and a line is found where this string is in i want the script to erase the WHOLE LINE and save and exit. Does anyone have a clue how i can do such a thing?

thanks in advance

Write the script to read lines one at a time from get.txt and put them somewhere else if they don't contain "getget". Then just replace get.txt with the new file.

In other words, go line by line and then search for the string instead of searching for the string and vice versa.

thats sounds logical, but i don't even know how to search for the string select the whole line and then put it somewhere else.

My biggest problem basicly is to select the entire line where the string is in....the other stuff willn not be the problem
