José,
Not that I am aware of.  We've done something similar by renaming a file, 
opening a new file (with the same name as the original file), and reading 
each line of the original file.  If the line meets the criteria, write it 
to the new file -- otherwise discard it.  In the end, you can delete the 
original file with the new name.

Here's the code to rename the original file:

let $FileName = 'c:\temp\original name.txt'
let $Backup = 'c:\temp\new name.txt'

Let #DeleteStatus = delete($Backup)
Let #RenameStatus = rename($FileName,$Backup)
If #RenameStatus <> 0
  show 'Could not rename file ' $FileName
  Stop 
end-if

Hello all,

Is it possible to delete a row from a .txt file under a certain criteria
thru an SQR while it is open?

Thanks,

José A. Aguirre
