Hi,

I need to delete these lines

Code: Select all

 company name company name company name branch  branch name     ledger         printing      02/07/2014 July 2014        PAGE:   X
as they reoccur in text file repeatedly.

Any simple way to whip out instantly, Only the PAGE: X changes else is constant.

Thanks.

Something like this might do the trick:

Code: Select all

findstr /B /V /C:"company name company name company name branch  branch name     ledger         printing      " filename.txt >newfile.txt

There's an invisible character at the beginning of the line and the PAGE: X
is on the end of the line.

I'd bet my glass of beer that X is not really X and that the date and time can change, at the very least.

Hi,

Foxidrive you are genius.

There's an invisible character at the beginning of the line and the PAGE: X
is on the end of the line.


That's 100% true the invisible character is page break sign.
The X was to displayed to show that they will change on each page.

Genius foxidrive, provide some solution.

Thanks.

This is the kind of genius I am. If you provide actual details of the task then you may get a solution that works.
