Deleting text from a file???

I am making a program that keeps track of files. It does this by writing the name of the file into "filelist.txt" and then when I need to read the list I just scan the file and print out the names. My problem is that when I delete a file I also need to delete that listing in filelist.txt and I do not know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Read the whole thing, write it back out without whatever it is you don't want in it.


Quzah.

How can I tell how many lines there are to read? I need to know how many lines I will be reading in so that I can make the array that they are stored in the right size.

You only need to store 1 line

- read a line in
- do I want to keep it, if so write it to another file
- repeat until end of file

Then
- delete the original file
- rename the new file to the original name.
