How do i delete a certain part of a text file?
I want to delete a certain part of a text file using C++. I opened the file with the ios::in. Then I used seekp() to go to the place I want. Then I wrote: "file.put(ascii(8))" to simulate a bckspace but it didn't work.
Is it true that I must make a loop on the whole file to get the next character to my current place and put it in my current place and so on (what time consuming!!!)
The only way i know to do this is to read the file into an array.Place in a second array stuff that you want to keep from the first array.You can use memcpy or memmove etc. to do that. Then save the second array overwriting the file.
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
