How to remove a few DNS records from all zone files?

[postcd]

Hello,

WHM stupidly without asking me added all Default nameservers into zone files of accounts i transfered to my server.

The aim is now fix the mess WHM did.

Removing whole entry lines

nsx1.hosting.com X X X IP
nsx2.hosting.com X X X IP

there is more than 100 zone files to edit. so i ask how i can remove these two whole lines automatically via linux command line from all zone files.

Hello,

You could use the replace command. First if you haven't already done so, make a backup of the /var/named directory

cp -rfpd /var/named /var/named.bak

Then you would use the replace command something like this:

replace 'nsx1.hosting.com X X X IP' '' -- *
replace 'nsx2.hosting.com X X X IP' '' -- *

That should do the trick. If anything goes wrong, you still have the backup.
