This function allows you to delete lines of text from a file. Great for editing small .txt files if you don't want to open your FTP! (call me lazy but thats what I use it for!)

// this function strips a specific line from a file // if no linenumber is specified, last line is stripped // if a line is stripped, functions returns True else false // // e.g. // cutline('foo.txt'); // strip last line // cutline('foo.txt',1); // strip first line
/* its probably a good idea to allow access to this file via a password. otherwise, anyone that knows its in your directory could delete lines of text from the file you specify below! */
cutline('foo.txt',6); // deletes line 6 in foo.txt } ?>
