[RESOLVED] [2005] Removing a line of text from a .txt file

[buttpt]

Hi all

So...I am writing an app that writes notes, inserted by the user, to a txt file. The app saves that notes to a txt file, and when opening it reads the file and shows the already inserted notes.
However, I want the user to be able to delete some of those notes...but I can't seem to do it...this is what I have:

Dim file As New FileStream(data_path & "notes.txt", FileMode.Open)
        Dim text As String = Nothing
        Dim reader As New StreamReader(file)
        Dim writer As New StreamWriter(file)
 
        While Not reader.EndOfStream
            text = reader.ReadLine
            If text.Contains(value) Then
                text.Replace(value, "")
                writer.Write(text)
            End If
        End While
 
        file.Close()

*value is the string/note to be replaced
*data_path is the path I want...no problems here

It goes fine, but the text.Replace(value, "") line doesn't seem to work.
I've also tried text.Remove(0) but it doesn't removes the line...it looks like it has no effect.



Hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance
