Is there a wa with grep to extract all lines that do not begin with "#"? I
have tried the following.
grep -v '#' /etc/my.conf
grep -v '^#' /etc/my.conf
The ^ indicates the start of a line, so '^#' indicates lines that have
a # at the start, and -v '^#' indicates lines that do not have a # at
the start.
