how to check the specific word available in a text file

[crazypro]

Hi

i need to check the text file line by line for a specific word which starts with a specific word(eg: Function sample (in action, inout action1)) line starts with word "Function" and i wanna delete the "in" and copy that line in a new text file without "in" (eg: Function sample (action, action1))and also i wanna check for paranthesis ({,})and skip those paranthesis in the new test file while copying.



can anyone help me to do this.

Another way is to play with the InStr and Mid functions.
