Stupid notepad and _ReplaceStringInFile question

[sublimnl]

Does anyone know how notepad writes a new line? For example I have

"i hate the spurs

and the mavs"

in a file that was created with notepad and I want to get rid of the first line. I have tried the following without success...

_ReplaceStringInFile($file,"i hate the spurs" & @CRLF,"")

I have also tried @CR and @LF but nothing seems to work...it just doesn't find the string so nothing happens. How can I accomplish this?

Look in FileWriteLine() and FileRead(), you can choose the mode to start writing at the end of the file by starting a new line.

Thanks, but not sure how that will help. I gave a very basic example, but I am searching through quite a large file and need to delete the line of text I am searching for as well as the carriage return or line feed. So basically for a more complex example if I have

1111

2222

3333

4444

5555

and want to get rid of "3333" I cannot have a space where the line used to be. I have to end up with

1111

2222

4444

5555

I can't believe I am stuck on something so easy!
