My reply is from the Perl Cookbook Modifying a File in Place with -i switch and it takes place all on the command line. 

perl -i.orig -ne 'print unless /^lb348,/' test.txt

[download]
The original file is copied to test.txt.orig and the new file has all lines that do not begin (that's what the ^ anchor is for) with lb348 followed by a comma. (The -n says to loop over all the lines in the filenames given in the argument list, so this works on many files at once. The -e says to execute the bit of code between the quotes.)

If you're sysadmining, slinging files around as quick as you can, learning to use the command line will save you time.

Sometimes I can think of 6 impossible LDAP attributes before breakfast.
