From: Ian Miller Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.djgpp Subject: I'd like to truncate a file but I don't know how Date: 10 Feb 1997 14:02:19 +0000 Organization: Defence Research Agency Lines: 14 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: 146.80.115.106 To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp I'd like to say "truncate this file here" in one of my programs. Can I/how do I do this with standard C/C++? Can I/how do I do this with non-standard features of DJGPP C/C++? At the moment, if I delete a word from a file (a dictionary file as it happens) and shift everything down to reclaim the space, I'm left with a load of spare space at the end that I can't get rid of.
