Help needed with files (solved)

Postby lcl » Thu Aug 04, 2011 1:24 pm

Can someone please help me to clear a text file which is created by GE.
I am making an internet bookmark application which stores bookmarks into file
with their web address and name, and then loads them from it.
I just want to add ability to remove bookmarks, and that's why I need to get the file
cleared and then write the bookmarks again.

So, does anyone know a way to clear a file? :D

when using fopen, instead of having the "r+b" parameter, have "w+b", it will create a new file to write to, it may be possible that you do not have the +b
