how can i remove a line from an ordinary text file?

[jayeshsugunan]

It is easy to remove a line from a file by rewriting the file. how can i remove a line without rewriting ? Also, do not use white spaces to overwrite the line. I expect a perfect line deletion code .....

You must understand how files are written to disk to understand that to delete a line from a text file you must overwrite the file (except for some exceptions where you say overwrite the end of a file).

Then we expect you to produce this code. This isn't a code on demand site, and if you continue to demand code, you will be flamed and rightfully so.
