Hello

I'm sure what I'm looking for is quite simple but since I'm very novice to regular expressions I hope to find a clue.

I basically have a matlab problem and want to use regular expression to help out. Is there a way to open a text file....and erase the first line in this text file?

Cheers

Marc
 

Marc,

You may need to expand on your question a bit because I can't see where a regex will help you as opening a file, reading lines, writing lines etc are fairly standard programming tasks.

The only things I can think of are:

- you need a regex to select the specific file fom a list
- you need a regex to conditionally select the first matching record that is to be deleted
