Re: remove comment lines from .txt file

Right. In an editor that has Regex find/replace (like vim):
:%s/^#.*$//g

will remove all lines that begin with #

That command will not *remove* any lines.

Empty lines may or may not be acceptable to whatever is importing
this file to a database. Most of them will probably at least
generate a complaint about missing fields.
