I have a file that has a lot of lines. I want to create a new file that has only those lines that have a certain character in the first column of each line. If it isn't there skip that line.
File example
* some data here
* more data but indented
* more data stil
* some new data
So basically I want to only Print or create a new file that has the * in column 1 of this entire file and skip all the other lines that basically would be blank or null. This list is variable so I can't just say print every 3rd line.
What would be the best way to go about this?
Thank You
