Ara "There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking." - Yamamoto Tsunetomo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kumar s Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 1:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Tutor] Removing a row from a tab delimitted text Dear group, I have a file, with Name identifier followed by two columns with numbers.
