Delete Whole Lines In A Text File

[yaqwa]

how can i do this

 

I have a text file from a server log and just want to delete all lines where my own ip was included (for better view)

 

by example

 

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0"

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2005:12:34:55 +0200] "GET /p.....

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0"

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2005:12:34:55 +0200] "GET /p.....

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0"

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2005:12:34:55 +0200] "GET /p.....

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0"

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0" 

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0" 

64.12.116.67 - - [14/Jun/2005:10:45:51 +0200] "GET /g... HTTP/1.0" 

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2005:12:34:55 +0200] "GET /p.....

 

 

I want to do this with a macro

 

1.copy the log file to a new file (server.log --------> view.txt)

2.than delete all lines where 127.0.0.1 is at the beginning of each line

3.open that file for me to see

 

thats all

 

I know how to copy and open but i do not know how to delete those lines

please help

Use the Text File Begin/End Process commands.

Text File Begin Process: "test.txt"
 If Variable %T1% does not contain "127.0.0.1"
   Variable Modify String: Append %T1% to Text File
 End If
Text File End Process

<BTFBEG:001:000001:000000:c:\test.txt><IFVAR2:1:01:8:127.0.0.1><TMVAR2:20:01:00:000:000:c:\output.txtT><ENDIF><BTFEND>

To explain a little further: Macro Express cannot delete a line in a file. But, you can write lines from the existing file to a new file and skip the ones you do not want.
