[Closed] MemStream copy paste problem
Feb 05, 2015 11:28 am
Hi
i’m going to copy the content of a text file then paste in another file but i don’t want some part to get copied
here is my try
--create files
startfile = createFile "C://start_test.txt"
Endfile = createFile "C://End_test.txt"
--format some lines
format "First line
Second line
Third line
Delete
Delete
Delete
" to:startfile
close startfile
close Endfile
--try to copy the content
mcop = MemStreamMgr.openFile "C://start_test.txt"
data = ""
while not mcop.eos() do data += mcop.readLine() + "
"
MemStreamMgr.close ms
--try to paste in Endfile
expFile = openFile "C://End_test.txt" mode:"a+"
format "%" data to:expFile
close expFile; free expFile
Doing this, all the content of startfile get copied and pasted to the Endfile.
now i like to know how to NOT copy these delete lines i mean here the 4,5,6 lines and i can’t do any changes with the original file i mean startfile
i found ms.skipBlock “xxxx” “yyyy” which skip some lines but i don’t know how to use it when the line is not the first line
if it is not possible in this way any help is so appreciated
Thanks in advance
