[olug] VIM help

[Rado Bonk]

Hello Linux users,
I am working with big ASCII files. There is just one column of data in
each file. I need to delete lines with the specific string. If I use in
VIM:
:%s/string// or :%s/^string//

the string is deletd but the line (empty) is still in the file. I need to
delete the entire line. Something like "\n" would help. I use VIM for
ASCII file editing.
Sincerely,
		Rado
