| i dear,I have a text file with carriage returns (enter as lines seperators). I have used readline and writeline but my need is to :change or delete specific line in the text file. For example the line number 16 or the line that has the string value: "this is the content of the line to be replaced or deleted"Thanks a lot. |

| read the lines into memory, skipping the line you don't need. Then write the remaining lines back out to the file, overwriting it.- Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |

| i thought there might be a way to do that directly by pointing to the lines without ovewryting the whole file. I am concerned about performance issues since my file will have thousands of lines. But may be that a DB d be the way to go.Thanks a lot. |
