need help deleting a deleting a struct from file

Hey

I have a problem I've been struggling with the last couple of days, I need help deleting a certin struct from a file. the program is currently saving the struct to a list which is later printed on screen from where I select the number linked to the struct, however the struct does not vanish from the file itself. I need help getting the struct to vanish from the file also. Would be thankfull for any help or suggestions.

Something like:

- Load structs from file into link list (or tree or whatever)
- User selects one to delete
- Struct is removed from the link list and free()'d from memory
- User chooses to "save changes" (or maybe its done automatically)
- Prog then loops through the list, writing each node to the file, overwriting the original (or maybe writing to another file, it's up to you).

Job done! :)

tnx, yeah I know what the flow would look like, but I could use some actual code, just a part or so to get started, I've been fiddling with read/seek cursor etc, still havent been able to get rid of it :)

If you close the file after reading it all in, you can reopen with truncate to delete it's contents ready for writing. Thats as long as you have all the data in your link list.

Tnx for the help, but I solved it another way :)

What way? Let people here know, then they can learn too. It's a two way board y'know :)
