Question Remove the file content based on the Header of the file
Hi All,

I want to remove the content based on the header information .
Please find the example below.

File1.txt

Code:
Name|Last|First|Location|DepId|Depname|DepLoc
naga|rr|tion|hyd|1|wer|opr
Nava|ra|tin|gen|2|wera|opra

I have to search for the DepId and remove the data from the DepId to the end of the file.

output.txt

Code:
Name|Last|First|Location|DepId
naga|rr|tion|hyd|1|wer
Nava|ra|tin|gen|2|wera

Thanks in Advance.
