Grep remove line with 0 but not 0.2?
I have a file similar to this:
0
0
0.02
0
0
0
0
I want to remove all the lines with a single zero.
I was thinking to use something like:
grep -v "0"
But this also removes the instances of 0.2.
I also saw there is a whole word option -w but this doesn't seem to work either.
How can I remove all lines which are just a single 0 but keep lines which may contain a 0?

grep -vx 0
From man grep:
-x, --line-regexp
Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.
For a regular expression pattern, this is like parenthesizing
the pattern and then surrounding it with ^ and $.
-w fails because the first 0 in 0.02 is considered a "word", and hence this line is matched. This is because it is followed by a "non-word" character. You can see this if you run the original command without -v, i.e. grep -w "0".

With grep:
grep -v "^0$" file
^ means beginning of the line, $ means end of the line.

- b - word border
grep -v "b0b"
- match beginning of line, your pattern and end of line
grep -v "^0$"
- or as @Sparhawk suggested -vx lineregexp
-w works, but in your case 0.2 are two words because dot character is a word separator.

grep's -w is a bit convoluted in a way that it splits up the original string into word and non-word constituents (anything except letters, digits or underscore) . Since it has already encountered a a valid word constituent 0 in 0.02 it had asserted the negation logic to remove the line.

When the lines you want to delete only contain a 0 followed by the next line you can select those lines by issuing the following command:
grep "^0$"
This will only print the occurrences of 0 that are at the end of a line and at the beginning of a line at the same time.
I hope this helps!

When the lines you want to delete only contain a 0 followed by the next line you can select those lines by issuing the following command:
grep "^0$"
This will only print the occurrences of 0 that are at the end of a line and at the beginning of a line at the same time.
