Macro to go between EXTRA and notepad

[MikeB1986]

Hello everyone,
First I would like to thank everyone in advance. Now onto my question. I work in the I.T. Dept of a large company, and we use attachmate extra xtreme for our backend. What I would like is a macro that could jump from extra to notepad, copy a line of text, delete the text it copied, delete the blank space it left so the next line will take its position, then jump back into extra. I know it would be better with pretty much anything other than notepad, but it was made very clear to me that I can only use what is on the PC. Also the file being native to notepad makes it easier anyways. I already have a macro that will run the rest. I just need one that will do what was previously requested. Also if it is any help the line in the notepad that will be copid is 14 characters long. Again I appreciate any help or advice on this. Thank you.

I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but this function takes a line number as input and returns the extracted line.

Declare Function extractline(lineNumber)

Function extractline(lineNumber)

    filename = "<filename>"

    OPEN filename For Input As #1
    
    Dim i as integer
    
    i = 0
    
'Count the number of lines
    Do while EOF(1) <> True
        Input #1, txtline
        i = i + 1
    Loop
    
    CLOSE
    
    If i < lineNumber Then
        Exit function
    End If
    
'Copy the lines into a list
    OPEN filename For Input As #1
    
    Dim lines() as String
    reDim lines(i)
    
    For j = 1 To i
        Input #1, lines(j)
    Next
    
    CLOSE
    
'Rewrite the file without the line needed
    OPEN filename For Output As #1
    
    For j = 1 To i
        If j <> lineNumber Then
            Print #1, lines(j)
        End If
    Next
    
    CLOSE
    
'Return the line extracted
    extractline = lines(lineNumber)
    
End Function

I need to copy the entire file and rewrite it because I don't know if it is possible to edit inside a txt-file.

Hope it helps.
