If it is a .csv file, you can read it into Excel. You can set up a spreadsheet to have a column where you test the data, one test per line... like =if (c5="bad stock ticker",0,1). Then you delete all the 0's. If you do this alot, then I would suggest creating a simple macro that deletes the 0's and keeps the good stocks..then resaves the remaining file as a csv file.
