Can you give an example of what you are trying to do? Your description is a bit vague.

if your question is to get only the lines where the word exits then do a

sed -n '/word/p' filename > outfile

Hope this helps..

Try:

grep -v "words_to_exclude" infile > outfile

A sample of your input/output file would make it easy to provide you the solution.
