[panth3r]

I've got a quick question,

how can i remove all of the words out of a file execpt word xyz ?

I'm assuming i can do this with sed but im having a lil trouble figureing it out from all the online tutorials (i was hoping the "sed one-liners" link would have worked but it didnt....im reading through the FAQ listed in the sed man page).

Thank's i apriciate any help/tutorials/examples

It is in HTML, just change the extension .txt to .html

Is this what you want?

sed 's/[^xyz]//g' <filename>
