I was wondering if you could help me with a script to remove ALL the lines in a file that contain the word "BOUNDARY". I have the script like this so far, but It will only remove the first occurance of BOUNDRY, not all of them like I want.

#!/bin/bash
line=$(grep -n "BOUNDARY" foo.c | cut -d: -f1 | sed '1q' )
sed ${line}d foo.c > foo_new.c

thanks for your help.
