is there a way to delete a 'string' from a text file?

[carlislemc]

Not directly. You'd need to read in the file and then write it out again without the String you are trying to delete.

@carlislemc Nevermind, i got it fixed, was such a stupid question too :P

[carlislemc]

@Djentard I am sorry, but I do not understand your question.

Thanks for your tutorials.

I do however have a question and maybe this WriteSimpleFile could be expanded;

1) It does not get same directory as the .java file

2) Type a name for file, however no extension is added if I don't type full filename

3) Add multiple file Filters, ie. Java or TXT being shown, if so then save with that extension

Just a couple ideas as I'm new to Java, thanks again
