I have a list containing a set of tags, and would like to exclude one tag, unless another tag exists in the line.

Say I have the following list, and want to exclude B, unless A is present.

[A,B]
[A,C]
[B,C]
[A]
[B]

I can reverse grep for B:

> grep --invert-match "B"
[A,C]
[A]

How can I find the previous list, but also the item containing [A,B]?

Haha, on Lemmy.World it looks like a top level. Thank you, either way :)
