Hi Andy,

This file has hardly anyline. YOu can simply edit this file, search for "killed" and delete them.

Ofcourse 'grep -v killed file' will get to it.

I wonder if it is what you wanted. Can you elaborate it?

In case you have to read the whole file

while read -r a b c d e f g #however many fields
do
if [ "$g" = "killed" ]
then
# ignore
else
do something else
fi

done

Otherwise grep -i -v killed will work
