delete records ...

[Guest_imported]

Is there a way to delete all records after a particular part of a file (without creating any other temporary files)??

If its not possible just say so. but PLEASE reply.

In Windows you can truncate files at a selected position. See SetEndOfFile. John Fill

thanks JohnFill.

but is there a way to do it using TCC Version 3. that was supposed to be for DOS. my OS is Win98. but TCC V3 probably does not have that function?? thanks again.

but reply please.

may be u can try setting the (n+1) character to 0. this normally works as the terminator and the file would be read till that point.

just try out, i am not too sure.

icici... you couldn't get further from the truth... the 0 character is for string termination, it has nothing to do with the FILES!
Think at what you said... if any file would contain a 0 at somepoint, you would just stop reading from the file??? Nosferatu
