Hello Martin.

Is there a way to eliminate rows in a text file using the low-level file functions?

As Garrett says, for VFP 6.0 or later ( untested and off the top of my head )
lcStr = FILETOSTR( 'MyTextFile' )
lnLines = ALINES( laLines, lcStr )
lcStr = ""
FOR lnLine = 1 TO lnLines
  IF < Condition where I want to keep this line >
    lcStr = lcStr + laLines[ lnLine ] + CHR( 13 ) + CHR( 10 )
  ENDIF
ENDFOR
STRTOFILE( lcStr, 'MyTextFile' )
