Delete a line in a text file

[MAM]

I understand how to write and read to a text file; however, I'm trying to figure out how to delete a line of text within a text file. Is this possible? The only way I've figured out how to do it so far is to rewrite the entire text file to a new file and remove the desired line during the writing of the new file. Is there an easier/faster way to delete text within a text file? [sig][/sig]

You might want to check out the Truncate procedure (I/O routines). You should be able to find the line you want to delete, truncate the file at that line and shuffle everything after that line up in some sort of way. I would have to set down and try this but it should work.

Hope this helps.
