manipulating text files before importing

I have a two tab workbook, one is a form (sheet 1) one is my import sheet (sheet 2). The import sheet (sheet 2) has cells linked to the form (sheet 1)that fill the appropriate cells when a text file is imported to sheet 2. My problem is that through operator input the text file I import onto sheet 2 sometimes will have an extra line of text in the file and throws off my links. So my question is, is it possible to write a vb procedure that can find a specific line in a text file then delete it before it is dumped to its import destination with out changing the original text file. All I'm experianced with is macro recording and very basic vb. Any help would be appreciated.
