newbiez: how to delete a line from text file?

I found this code here at forum few month ago:

Code:

# Usage: replaceLines    [replacement data (optional)]proc replaceLines { args } {   if {[llength $args] >= 3} then {      foreach {file start end} $args break      set cmd [list lreplace [split [read [set f [open $file r]]] \n] $start $end]      close $f      if {[llength $args] > 3} then {lappend cmd [lindex $args 3]}      puts -nonewline [set f [open $file w]] [join [eval $cmd] \n]      close $f   } else {      error "wrong # args: should be \"[lindex [info level 0] 0] file start end ?replacement?\""   }} ;# replaceLines

Read the text file, and copy all lines to an temporary file except the one you want to remove. Then just replace the old with the new.

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script for eggdrop that received user input and search for that input (a line) in the text file then delete.

For example:
/msg botnick !delete remove-this-line-in-the-text-file

then the result should remove the line "remove-this-line-in-the-text-file" in the textfile.txt.

Also need to play back the textfile.txt back to user when user issued command: /msg botnick !list

thanks all,

GT
