Hallo,

how can I delete the first line from a textfile by vba, or how can i
delete a special string from a textfile by vba.

Greetings and thanks

You can't, really. Not with _any_ language.

The only way to delete content from a file, text or otherwise, is to:

* read the file
* write the desired content back

That second step is generally to a new file. Once you have a good reproduction,
minus the unwanted bits, you can delete the original and rename the new.
