I have a large C source file that is generated by a separate source-generating program. When the generated src file is compiled, it produces tons of warnings. I want to edit the generated src file and delete the offending lines. What is the easiest way using a PHP script to read in a file, search for a particular signature, and delete a couple of lines? Seems like this would be very easy in PHP.

file_get_contents() to get the file into a $string. preg_match_all(,,$matches) to get to what you need, str_replace() to replace $matches with your chosen replacements and there you are :) file_put_contents() to save the results..
