How to use FileOpen to paste into a document, and how to erase lines from a document?

[miketh2005]

Hey guys. I'm going to need to be using FileOpen alot, and going over in my mind what I have to do.

I need to erase lines from a document, how would I do this?

On a separate note,

How would I go about pasting something from the clipboard to a line on a document?

Using FileWriteLine? But how? Can I use "^v"?

ClipGet

ClipPut - Writes text to the clipboard.

ClipGet - Retrieves text from the clipboard.

As for erasing lines from a document, it would be hard to make suggestions not knowing details..

Ohh, I see how to use ClipGet now... put it in a variable... Thanks!

well, If you must know details, I have lines in a document the bot reads with FileReadLine and pastes in a form on a website, when it uses the line, I want it to erase the line... anyway to do that? thanks again.

I'm assuming this a text file, and using any of the File.. Functions are a sure way to 'edit' such a file.

Hmm.. I know about the file functions, but I don't know any that can delete a line... can FileOpen do such a thing? Thanks.

I haven't actually done any of this myself yet, but the way I understand it is like this: Read all the lines from a file, but only some or most of them are written back, thereby the lines that aren't written back are 'deleted'.. Search the forum for some examples, I've seen many posts here related to that.

Hmm.. Thanks. Actually, I wanted to delete the lines that I've already used, so that I can loop the bot.
