Hello,
chapter 2 mini CD manager. Can any one please explain the next code:
in the function remove_records():
[code]

grep -v "^${cdcatnum}," $title_file > $temp_file
mv $temp_file $title_file
grep -v "^${cdcatnum}," $tracks_file > $temp_file
mv $temp_file $tracks_file

[code]
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

the code finds lines in the file named title_file
Actually the code finds the lines that do NOT begin with the specified pattern
and saves all these lines in a temporary file. Then the next line renames the temporary file
and gives it the name of the existing file, so it actually substitutes the existing file with a file that does not have the specific lines , so in other words the specific lines were removed.
