Talk:Remove lines from a file

I'm not sure if this qualifies so much as a file system operation as data processing. A filesystem is part of the operating system, or sometimes intrinsic to a language's virtualized representation of a filesystem. I suspect that even describing this task as specific to the concept of a file may be inappropriate; it may be more appropriate to apply it to a buffer into which a file was read, or which maps to the context of some text field. By leaving it nonspecific, it can cover special case-behaviors (such as file-specific) as well as general-case behaviors (such as operating on arbitrary buffers of text). --Michael Mol 02:19, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
