Using Vb.Net
Dim strFilePath As String = "C:\text.txt"
Dim strFileContents As String
strFileContents = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(strFilePath)
Dim strFind As String = "your word/words here"
Dim intStart As Integer = InStr(strFileContents, strFind)
Dim strNewfileContents As String = strFileContents.Remove(intStart - 1, strFind.Length + 1)
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(strFilePath, strNewfileContents, False)

one way to do it if it's o small text file is; parse the string into an array, find and remove the unwanted text, reconstruct the string and recreate the file
