Remove line from text file

[Wigry3]

Hi, How can I remove the line that contains "apple" from the text file? Please help me

Code: Select all

FileRead		; get content from file
StrReplace()	; replace whatever from content with nothing
FileAppend		; create new file with the edited content

PseudoCode. Click commands for further details. HTH

You would have to check each line and not include lines that contain "apple" in the output that replaces the original file.

Code: Select all

FileRead, Text, mytextfile.txt
loop, Parse, Text, `n, `r
	if !InStr(A_LoopField, "apple")
		OutText .= A_LoopField "`n"
OutText := SubStr(OutText, 1, -1) ; remove last `n
FileMove, mytextfile.txt, mytextfile.bak, 1 ; create backup file
FileDelete, mytextfile.txt ; delete original file (or else it would add on to old contents)
FileAppend, % OutText, mytextfile.txt ; write new file

Btw, StrReplace() would be good for removing only the word "apple" itself, but not the whole line that contains "apple". You could do something like that with RegExReplace().

Oops, correct!
