For a small file:
1. Read member.txt into an array (the "file" function is
your friend);
2. Make the changes to the array (the "unset" function is
your friend);
3. Output the array to "member-new.txt";
4. Delete "member.txt";
5. Rename "member-new.txt" to "member.txt";
If the file is larger (more than say, 500 kB) this might become a bit
memory-hungry, and it's worth looking at iterating over each line of the
file individually rather than reading it all into memory at once.
