search line by line into text file

[MaxiBarac]

Hi everyone , thanks for your time .

I have a text file with a table of data (text file example attached) , this file will be increasing with time , perhaps 500 lines per year , i want to read this file from labview and to be able to search a name (first field of the text file) and the data in the same line belongs to that name  , the idea is to read line by line and if the first field matches the name searched , then get all the data in that line as a string , the data types don't matter .

As well i have to be able to delete a complete line of the same text file if the name matches the one searched .

Any idea will be agreat , Thank you very much for your help and time !
