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
