VB 6 or VB Classic :) Here's some psuedo code to do what you want.

Dim iFileIn as Integer, iFileOut as Integer, strReadLine as String

iFileIn = FreeFile()
Open "Path\input.txt" for Input As #iFileIn

iFileOut = FreeFile()
Open "Path\output.txt" for Output as #iFileOut

Do while not EOF (iFileIn)
      Line Input #iFileIn, strReadLine
      if strReadLine  line you want removed then
            Write #iFileOut, strReadLine
      end if
Loop

Kill "Path\input.txt"
Name "Path\output.txt" As "Path\input.txt 

If you need a .Net example just ask :)
