Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a large text document (1.7mb) in size and I want to edit a recurring line of text in it so that it is blank

The line of text is standard bar the last few characters which represent the page number.

For example, the text would read "thesis title n" where n can be anything from 1 to 700. I would like to change the whole line including the page number to a blank.

Can any one suggest a way to do this. I have access to Linux/OSX and Windows so any can be used for a solution :-)
