Hi,
I have a some text files with the same format. I need help to make a batch that deletes the two first lines and after deleting adds a new line in at the beginning. I've tried some of the suggestions i found elsewhere at this forum, but i'm not able to make anything work like i need it to.
I hope someone has any suggestions. I'm also open for using scripts from other languages. Thanks

Thanks, I know the code should work, but everytime i try it i get the message: "did not expect in now" or someting like that. I get it in my language and hard to know what that message would be in english.
Any ideas?
