Aloha, John! Many thanks for the above suggestion -
I've been enjoying grep immensely. To create a new
text file with all of the yahoo.com addresses
removed, shouldn't the command line read:

grep -v "yahoo.com" test.txt > test2.txt

The one you suggested created a list of all the
yahoo.com addresses, but did not remove them from
the original file.

As I mentioned the other day, there are at least 2
Windows ports available:

As always, many, many thanks for providing such an
amazing service.

Yours Sincerely,
