cut a string in file

[June Lee]

I have a big text file (about 10MB)

is there fast way to delete the string

xmlns='urn:TMSW ebServices'

from the file quick?

the string will be some where in the first 20 line of the big text
file.

Use a command line stream editor like sed.

Well yes, but why bother?

You could just read the file line by line and search/replace the string
in each line.

There are no standard file operations for deleting part of a file (and
frequently no extensions for that sort of thing). The usual way is to
create a temporary file, and rewrite it without the missing text, then
copy the temp over the old file.
