I know i can set a file:
#file 1 test.txt
And then use #read and #write to append
And #erase will delete the file but
is there a way to delete an item example:
the file contains the word "Zugg"
i would like to remove all occurences of the word in the file.

Any suggestions?

While I did say I new of no direct way I think my question is can anyone think of a possibility?

And with Zmud there is always a way!!

I'd make it read, strip and push to another file.

#FILE 1 Foo.txt
#FILE 2 Foo2.txt
#LOOP %filesize(1) {#VARIABLE Temp %read(1,%i);#VARIABLE Temp %replace(@Temp,"Zugg","Darker");#WRITE 2 {@Temp}}
#CLOSE 1
#CLOSE 2

This worked great !!!
one question about above script.

When i do this I am actually just removing Zugg replaceing it with "" instead of darker.
but this gives me a blank line and I don't want the blank line either.

I tried revising this script with %remove("zugg",@temp)
but this left a blank line too.

Any ideas on that?

#IF (@Temp) {#WRITE 2 {@Temp}}

Just check to see that something is left in the line before you right it.
