Remove or filter entries from file

AsimNawaz

I am trying to remove entries from list file based on a specific word found in the url. Dont know why it is not working or may be I am doing something wrong.

What are we supposed to enter in the mask column?
I have a target list in a file  and the list is around 1 million links. I want to remove all the links from the file that have a word "comment" in the domain or path . Is this possible using the filter entries option. ? Please let me know. Thanks @Sven

You need to create a "Regular Expression" to identify the string.

IE:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/

Alternately, download Cygwin or run the process on a Linux box. You can accomplish the same thing (Much faster, given the size of your file) using SED and CAT

IE: cat sourcefile.txt | sed '/wordtoremove/d' >> outputfile.txt<br>

@Sven can you please help me in this

Sven

a mask is a simply thing like : *badword*

@Sven I am using the badword to be removed and the bad word is present too in the file but it is not getting removed

Sven

show me the exact steps you click enter to reverify this (maybe upload the file at well).
