[solved] how to delete the 10 first lines of an ascii file

Hi Gribouilli,

Thanks for you hint. I just found a way using vi/vim:

import os, subprocess, sys
 
Path = os.getcwd()
AsciiFile = 'Ascii.txt'
 
vimRun = subprocess.Popen('vi ' + Path + '/' + AsciiFile + ' +1,10d -c wq ', shell = True, stdin = None, stdout = None)
# +1,10d => equivalent to ":1,10d"
# "-c" <command> => the "c" of command to be executed 
# 'stdout = None' avoid echoes
