How does one go about finding-replacing text in a standard text file- such as a layout file- so that the replace function gets rid of the entire line and does not leave a space? I am trying to thin out layout files so that I can offer a heavy and light version. I create an airfield layout file with lots of trees in it- all of them the same- wofi's stand of 5 palms. Then, to thin it out and create a light version of the layout file, I go into a text editing program- it doesn't make much difference which cause I haven't yet been able to accomplish what I want- and try to delete every other tree object line. Problem is that while I can easily get rid of the name part of the line I still have not figured out how to get rid of the rest of the string- the co-ordinate part that follows. I want to replace the entire line with nothing. I want everyother tree entry line to just disappear. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!
