http://askubuntu.com – Imagine my directory looked like this: ./original.txt ./blah.1.txt ./blah.2.txt [...] ./blah.999999.txt I essentially want to replace every blah.* file with the contents of original.

I've been doing some experiments with "replaceall" function to change content of a file.

Dear Buddies, Need ur help once again. I have a flat file with around 20 million lines (Huge file it is). However, many of the lines are of no use hence I want to remove it.

If I were to omit the -l and pipe, I get this back from grep:
