Hello Guys,

I need to remove the first line in my ini file, but this line is not into a section. So how can I remove the first line.
I tried the "Edit INI function" without entering the section but it does not work (update or delete line)...

Dear Heiko,

I suggest you to use the following command;

- Read text file, to aquire the entire text file into a Variable.
- Parse String, to remove the unwanted lines
- Write to Text, to store back the updated content.

Please also refer to InstallAware documentation for more detailed information about commands usage.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

This was also in my mind, but I thought there is maybe a better way like that

But how can I remove a line with parse string...

my line is

activedb=XXXX

(xxxx can be everything and the length is variabel)

Dear Heiko,

each text line shoul be terminated with a carriage return control character.

Use NEWLINE pre-defind variable to split the text at the second occurence of it.

Regards.
