Swap the file contents

Hi All,

I would like to swap the contents of two large files without using any temporary file. However, a buffer can be used instead of temporary file. I could swap the file contents, but have a problem in deleting the contents of the larger file at the end.

Please help resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Why don't you just swap the names ?

Great idea ! I need to improve my thinking.

Thanks a lot

There is a problem in opening the link.

Thanks Desolation for your suggestion.

Do we have any other solutions apart from renaming the files?

Thanks in advance.

Just like swapping anything else. A to C, B to A, C to B.


Quzah.

If you dont want a temporary file, and they are too large for a buffer, A = smaller file, B = larger file, C = the end of the B file (save the offset).
