Remove or filter entries from file

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>
  • 1linklist  Can you please send me a regular expression to remove all urls that have a "/comment/" text in them. I dont know anything about regular expressions . Please

    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

    show me the exact steps you click enter to reverify this (maybe upload the file at well).
  • @Sven I have created a gif file. Its not as clear but hope I was able to convey my point.
