Hi, first thanks a lot for the help agama, appreciate it!

The php code i want to remove is a sequence of lines, it is not spread accross random lines. Its a piece of code that have around 25 lines.

Example (thats not the actual code i want to remove, just something similar):

Code:

  <?php
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id = '".$_GET['article']."'";
  $do->doQuery($sql);
  $article = $do->getRows();
  if(isset($_POST['add'])) {
    if(trim($_POST['nick']) != '') {
      $nick = trim($_POST['nick']);
    } else {
      $errorX['nick'] = 'Please enter your nickname.';
    }
    if(trim($_POST['comment']) != '') {
      $comment = trim($_POST['comment']);
    } else {
      $errorX['comment'] = 'Please enter a comment.';
    }
    if(empty($errorX)) {
      $sql = "INSERT INTO comments (website, article_id, nickname, message, email) VALUES ('".$_POST['website']."','".$_GET['article']."','".$nick."','".$comment."','".$email."')";
      $do->doQuery($sql);
      header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
    }
  }
  ?>

Like i said, i just need to find and remove all this code from multiple php files, i dont need to replace with anything...

So how do i put this php code in the above script ?

Thanks!

prunehistory

PRUNEHISTORY(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   PRUNEHISTORY(8)

NAME

       prunehistory - remove file names from Usenet history file

SYNOPSIS

       prunehistory [ -f filename ] [ -p ]

DESCRIPTION

       Prunehistory  modifies  the  history(5)	text file to ``remove'' a set of filenames from it.  The filenames are removed by overwriting them
       with spaces, so that the size and position of any following entries does not change.

       Prunehistory reads the standard input.  The input is taken as a set of lines.  Blank lines and lines starting with a  number  sign  (``#'')
       are ignored.  All other lines are should consist of a Message-ID followed by zero or more filenames.

       The  Message-ID	is  used as the dbz(3) key to get an offset into the text file.  If no filenames are mentioned on the input line, then all
       filenames in the text are ``removed.''  If any filenames are mentioned, they are converted into the history file notation.  If they  appear
       in the line for the specified Message-ID then they are removed.

       Since innd(8) only appends to the text file, prunehistory does not need to have any interaction with it.

OPTIONS

       -p     Prunehistory will normally complain about lines that do not follow the correct format.  If the ``-p'' flag is used, then the program
	      will silently print any invalid lines on its standard output.  (Blank lines and comment lines are also passed through.)  This can be
	      useful when prunehistory is used as a filter for other programs such as reap.

       -f     The default name of the history file is <pathdb in inn.conf>/history; to specify a different name, use the ``-f'' flag.
