im not that great at VB, but i do know a little bit so i will TRY help you. I beleive you can do a loop and search for a specific line of text, and i think the coding is something like this:
Code:
Dim a as string 'Declaring variable to temporarily store data, where a is the varible name Open filename.txt for random as #1 'open file as "random" to allow read and write Do until EOF(1) 'start loop to find what you are looking for After that i seem to kep confusing myself, i'll keep thinking of how to do it, if i get anywhere i'll let you know.

If you built the file with get then you can use put to erase the record in question, but to do so you will have to put spaces in the place of the record. The other option that I know of would be to read the file in and re-write the file minus the record in question.
