I tried with below command, but it is deleting the matching pattern line also.

sed '/1450\/pm2-hmc2/,$d' input.txt

CodePudding user response：

You can just invert the condition, i.e. print everything from the start up to the matching line:

sed '1,/1450\/pm2-hmc2/!d'

CodePudding user response：

sed -i '/1450\/pm2-hmc2/q' input.txt

CodePudding user response：

This should solve your problem,

sed '/1450\/pm2-hmc2/d' input_b.txt > output.txt
