I need something like:
grep ^"unwanted_word"XXXXXXXX

grep is very often used as a "filter" with other commands. It allows you to filter out useless information from the output of commands. To use grep as a filter, you must pipe the output of the command through grep . The symbol for pipe is " | ".
Excluding words To exclude particular words or lines, use the –invert-match option. Use grep -v as a shorter alternative.
How to Exclude a Single Word with grep. The most simple way to exclude lines with a string or syntax match is by using grep and the -v flag. The output will be the example. txt text file but excluding any line that contains a string match with “ThisWord”.
You can do it using -v (for --invert-match) option of grep as:
grep -v "unwanted_word" file | grep XXXXXXXX grep -v "unwanted_word" file will filter the lines that have the unwanted_word and grep XXXXXXXX will list only lines with pattern XXXXXXXX.
EDIT:
From your comment it looks like you want to list all lines without the unwanted_word. In that case all you need is:
grep -v 'unwanted_word' file If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
