greetings,
im looking for a ASCII text file parser that does the following: the program or script reads in any text file, searches for a specific user-inputed parameter then outputs the line without the parameter. if the line does not contain the parameter then the line is outputed as is.
input-file: genfile.ged
user-inputed parameter: ttp://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=sse&db=txbirthindex&h=6387624&ti=0&indiv=try&gss=pt

notice that the only change is that the http parameter has been removed, but the 3 NOTE remains.
the file size can be any size from small to large. this is stand-alone (user computer), placed on website not required.
thanks,
John…
