Removing a line from a text file?

[Anon]

Is there a way to remove a line from a text file at a give line number? The line number is a variable passed from another script. It would remove a string in a text file that is on the given line. Any ideas would be helpful.

You could do by rewriting the text file.
Without a manual in front of me I can't give you exact code. Here is a basic algorithm though. I think it would work.

Read the file into an array

open the file for writing

$x = 0;

for each $line in the fileArray

if $lineNum != $x then

write $line to the file

end if

$x++;

end for
