How's it going guys? Can you guys tell me if you know some codes to delete a text in a specific line in a text file.

Example:
This is line 1
This is line 2
this is line 3

Removing line 2,

This is line 1

This is line 3

Every answer is much appreciated ;) Thank you..

If the file is small

Read the entire file into memory and close the file
Reopen the file truncating it
Write all the data in memory to the file excluding the line you want to delete.
Close the file.

If the file is large (or for added resilience)

create a temporary file
copy the file line by line to the temporary file skipping the line you want to delete.
close the temporary file
delete the original file
rename/move the temporary file to the original file name
