[cyberray]

hi guys..i wanna delete lines with the word and regular expression backslash like

\repdb\

but i type out like that

sed "/\repdb\/d" text1.txt>text2.txt

it doesnt work..where did i go wrong..kindly tell me thanks.

You tried:
sed "/\repdb\/d" text1.txt>text2.txt

For some reason sed seems to dislike the double quote '"'.
Furthermore, you should tell sed to interprete the backslash as an ordinary character. Therefore, I think

sed '/\\repdb\\/d' text1.txt>text2.txt

will do the job.
