Thanks but, that deletes the entire file.
Here is a sample test.txt data file
<?--1-News1-->
<b>This is option News 1 of 1</b>
</?--1-News1-->

<?--1-Weather2of1-->
<b>This is option Weather 2 of 1</b> 
</?--1-Weather2of1-->

<?--1-Stock3of1-->
<b>This is option Stock 3 of 1</b>
</?--1-Stock3of1-->

<?--2-Second1of2-->
<b>Option Second 1 of 2</b>
</?--2-Second1of2-->

<?--3-Third1of3-->
<b>Option Third 1 of 3</b>
</?--3-Third1of3-->

Let's say I want to delete this part of the text data
<?--1-Stock3of1-->
<b>This is option Stock 3 of 1</b>
</?--1-Stock3of1-->

[download]

That's my question how I a get rid of that part and leave the rest of the data alone. Thank you!!!!
