Hello, I have the following issue (i.e, i am not sure how to implement the thing that I need). I have a file "test.txt" containing the following two lnes: 
vc66, 17 Almond Close Whitstable Kent, vc66@canterbury.ac.uk, 0128, ac
+398, 18/09/2010, 09/03/2012

lb348, 42 Alicia Avenue Dover Kent, lb348@canterbury.ac.uk, 0723, ac39
+8, 02/02/2007, 01/03/2010

What i have to do is the following: The program will ask the user for the username that they want to delete. Username is first item in each row (vc66, lb348). Next, the system will delete the whole row depending on the username that the user enters. For example, if I enter lb348, the program should delete second row and leave only first row in the file. What I was thinking to do here: Send every line to an array. My array will contain two lines. Next, I assume I could use grep function for deleting row. But I am confused about how to implement all this.
