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!

NAME

       scitools - run a SciTools command

SYNOPSIS

       scitools command [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The scitools script takes a command and runs a corresponding utility. The available commands are listed below.

       file2interactive
	      Utility for taking a set of Python statements in a file and creating the corresponding interactive Python shell session.

       floatdiff
	      Script for examining differences in regression tests involving floating-point numbers. Used in [1].

       regression
	      Simple front-end script to SciTools' Regression module. Used in [1].

       ps2mpeg
	      Utility for turning a set of PostScript files into an MPEG movie, using mpeg_encode or ppmtompeg.

       profiler
	      Script for simplifying the execution of Python's profiling tools. Used in [1].

       rename Script for renaming a set of files by substituting one string or regular expression with another.

       subst  Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of files. Accepts regular expressions. Treated in [1].

       replace
	      Script  for  subsituting	a  phrase by another in a set of files. Does not use regular expressions, just plain text (well suited for
	      substituting text with much use of backslashes, curly braces, and other special  characters  in  regular	expressions  (e.g.,  LaTeX
	      text).

       movie  Script  for  creating  a	movie file from a sequence of image files (frames). By default an HTML file for displaying the image (PNG)
	      files are made.

       pyreport
	      Processes a Python script and pretty prints the results using LateX. If the script uses show() commands (from scitools.easyviz) they
	      are caught by pyreport and the resulting graphs are inserted in the output pdf. Comments lines starting with "#!" are interpreted as
	      rst lines and pretty printed accordingly in the pdf.
