Finding and Removing Lines in vi

ok i am verrrry new to unix (bash) and even newer to vi editor so bear with me

2 things..

A)
i have read through the man for find an regex and can not figure out for the life of me how to find specificaly 2 different file types...

like if i want to find all the html files in a dir i do...



but how can i search for both html and htm files?

i also tried...

find . -type f -name "*.htm" -or "*.html"
find . -type f -name *.ht[m|ml]

as well as many variations of that and no luck.

B)

also....i have another txt file that is an enormous list of filepaths/files.

the question is...is there a way that i can go into vi, search for soemthing and then delete that line if it is found?

so if it finds "*blurb*" then delete that entire line


does this make any sense at all?

i would sooooo greatly appreciate any help on this!!!

thanks in advance!!

ROCK ON!!

For A use the following

$ find . -type f -name \*\.htm\*
./try.htm
./try.html
$


Here * . has special meanings and they are escape sequences so it should be protected by putting \


For B

you can do the following

<Esc>:/blurb/d

<Esc>:/"pattern or string"/d

That' s it
