Solution

  • You could do simply with sed like below:

    sed 's/amp;//' myfile.txt

    This would search for amp; and replace it with an empty string in a file called myfile.txt

    If you want to replace it within the file, then you could use -i option as below:

    sed -i 's/amp;//' myfile.txt

    If you have multiple such occurrences in a line, you could use a global replacement as below:

    sed 's/amp;//g' myfile.txt
