so, do you always have 6 numbers per lines?

do something like this:

filname = 'originalFile.txt'
nbLines = file_lines(filename) ;get the number of lines in the file
data = fltarr(nbLines) ;create an array to get all the data

openR, lun, filename, /get_lun ;open the file
readf, lun, data ;get all the data
close,lun ;close the file
free_lun,lun

;Select the good lines, the ones that do NOT have only zeroes
badLines = where(data[0,*] eq 0 and data[1,*] eq 0 and data[2,*] eq 0
and data[3,*] eq 0 and data[4,*] eq 0 and data[5,*] eq 0, complement =
goodLines)

;open and write the output!
openW,lun, new_fileName, /get_lun
printf,data[*,goodLines]
close,lun
free_lun,lun

PS: since you deal with float data, you might have to replace data[x,*]
eq 0 by abs(data[x,0]) lt epsilon, epsilon being a number small
enough to be considered as zero. Read David's Fanning website under "the
sky is falling".
