Hi,

Can any body help me on the following issue,

I have one text file called "final.txt" from this
file I want to remove specific lines like,

CanvasDetails,0,10,20,30 (Some line with
start of Canvasdetails word)
$ (Special symbol)
10 (Starting with integer)

I need a batch file which will generate new file
with this changes on single click.

So is there any command/ Code snippet for
that ?

Can ny one help on this issue...?
