  Uh...just ran this code through VB and it doesn't work.  I'll have to make some changes to get it to work.  It's a good idea to replace text in a file, but for LARGE files (I normally deal with ext files that are 70,000+ pages when printed out) I think this app would crash and burn.  Just my opinion

  I am certain it would crash in a file of that size.
  I am looking into getting a code that will do it for a 16 Gb file right now so I'm in the same boat as you

  Yeahhhhh... You could use that, OR...

   

      Public Function Replace(ByVal TextToReplace As String)
          Try
              TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace(TextToReplace.ToString, "") 'Replace the string with nothing
          Catch ex As Exception
              Throw ex
          End Try
      End Function

   

  'Usage Below
  

  Replace(".exe","") 'Replaces .exe with nothing - I origionally used this for multiple process killing =)
