[RESOLVED] How to delete text file!

[Xenobius]

I have a sequential file and I would like to edit it. I will do this by reading it all into an array, edit it, and write it all back. When I do that, the new edited text writes perfectly... but it doesn't remove the OLD text!!!!

How can I remove ALL the text inside the text file and re write it?

thankyou

You seem to be appending instead of overwriting. Check your settings for opening the file in your writing method.

hmm I would like to code to delete the ALL the text inside the file and over write it.

exmaple

streamwriter.clear()

or somthing like that

Like wossname suggested:

Dim sw As New StreamWriter("<file path here>", False)

The second argument is True to append or False to overwrite.

OHHHHH so that what TRUE means!! thanks dude!!!!

May I recommend never using any function without first fully understanding what the arguments are, mean and do.
