That'll escape a newline. To remove a line, there's a function that reads a file into an array. Each array element is a line in the file. Then you can make a loop to read through the array and at a certain line number ( array[line number] ) replace the value with "". Hope that helps. Sorry I can't give you exact code, I have it somewhere cause I just used it in my current project, but my brain is fried right now. Jason Bryner -- Focus Design http://www.focusdesigngroup.com
