Hi Edo,
Could you please advice if the following is possible:
I want to delete (from a TXT file) all lines beginning with "a patern".
Cannot find how to do it...
The problem is that there is no way (or I do not know?) to indicate end_of_line...

Something like this?
Or you just want me to help you write your own?
This one is extremely fast - good for huge files! Actually it doesn't read file a line by line

I'll try it immediately!

Oh, I've meant "within V+"!
The problem is that "0D0A" etc. can be entered in HEX mode only, but the
ABCD*0D0A pattern does not work there!
So my idea was to add a "EOL" wildcard to global search (text mode)

You've guessed the problem!
My files are huge really - 200Kb at least each (I'm editing SatcoDX tables)!

It would complicate the module very much!
So I made it a standalone util

Thanks a lot!
Maybe an option could be added to switch on/off printing to screen?
But then, the action could finish and you'd not now what happened
If anyone else is interested in Text_Line_Remover let me know and I'll mail it!

But, if a file to be cleaned not from single type of lines, but must undergo a number of iterations (cleaning certain type of lines each), it appears to be not convenient to start a program again and again every time!
On the other hand, V+ can save user environment

Agree - as an option.
