What I'm looking for is to delete the whole line, even if it's like "test test and once again test ..." Any1 knows how that works? I already took a look on $lines(filename) but I just don't get it

If you don't specify a line number then the last line in the file is deleted. /write -dl5 c:\info.txt /help /write is VERY useful, try it :P -Kurdish_Assass1n

So if you had the following two lines in a file: test test test and test again then use /write -dstest file.txt it will delete the first line it finds that starts with test and stop. And here is where you lose me. I'm not sure if you want it to skip the first line and delete the second line or if you want it to delete any lines that start with test. Please post more information.

OP Tw33ty Babel fish T Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 50	Sorry that's not what I'm looking for. Thx anyway. The script should work with two lines: .write msgs.txt $time $address and .write msgs.txt $nick said: $2- So if someone typs !delete and his/her Hostname ($address) is saved in msgs.txt, then the script should be able to delete both lines. Anyone got an idea how that could work?

ON :text:!delete:#:{ while ($read(msgs.txt,ntw,& $address)) { write -dl $+ $readn msgs.txt \| write -dl $+ $readn msgs.txt } } * You simply delete the loacted line ($readn) twice, becuase when u delete the first line the next line becomes that line number.
