Question : sed to delete lines with multiple matching  patterns

I have a file that contains a list of names. (approx 80)  I would like to use these names to feed into sed  and delete every line that contains any of these names. I cant seem to figure out how to have an expression that contains all of these names, delete all of the lines that contain these names, and then write what is left to another file??

cat file | sed -e /expression/'d

Thanks for any help

Answer : sed to delete lines with multiple matching  patterns

Hello andrew_89,

echo "sed "
cat file | while read name
do
    echo -n "-e \"/$name/d\" "
done

redirect the output of the above script to a file and see if this is the command you are looking for.
