Hi guys,

my question is really simple.
How do I remove 1 line from a text file.

example:
I have a .htpasswd file with several entry.
I would like to remove the line which contain the login: bob

How do I do that when I don’t want to put the file in an array, remove the entry from the array and then re write the file with the new array content.

Tks in advance

@pyroMay 21.2003 — I think you are going to have to do it that way. Reading from a file automatically puts the contents into an array, so it is logical that to remove a line, you loop through, remove the line, and re-write... Why can't you do it that way?

like open the file, read and cut the line and save the file.

Tks anyway
