Vista - Removing lines from a text file

Hi all,
I want to remove line from txt file, exectly like i write line with
out-file
how can i do so ?

Thanks

I think you will need to read the file into PowerShell and check line by line
for the file you want to remove - the rest of the file can be written back to
a file

ie (remove the third line of u:\testfile.txt) :

$f=${u:\testfile.txt}
$f[2]=$null
${u:\testfile.txt}=$f

If you want to remove lines matching some specific text (e.g. "bouh"), you
can write this:

(type myfile.txt) -notmatch "bouh" | out-file mycleanfile.txt

"bouh" can be any regular expression so you really have great control over
your filter here.

Hope that helps,
