I think you'll have to read the file manually (file() would prob be the best bet) and manually find/delete the line and then rewrite the file.

For example: I have a text file which contains the following. //****** text.txt ****** Keep this line. Also keep this line. Delete this line. Keep this one too. Now I want to do a search on this text file for the word "delete" and if it finds that word, it will delete the whole line it occurs on. So after this, the text file will look like this one: //****** text.txt ****** Keep this line. Also keep this line. Keep this one too. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
