You just open it in write mode as opposed to append or reading mode and
don't write anything. I believe that'll do it.

Unless you need to hold on to non-inherited NTFS permissions or the
dateCreated property of the file, deleting it and recreating it is no better
or worse than any other solution really.

Well I did figure that one out, I was just wondering if there was
a better approach.

I think if your code does what you say (I haven't tested it), it probably
achieves it in the same way, with one less line of code. (Delete,
re-create.)
Maybe I should add that task (emptying a file) to http://www.aspfaq.com/2039

Hello.
I am trying to read a small text file using the readline statement. I
can only read the first 2 records from the file. It stops at the blank
lines or at lines with only spaces. I have a while statement checking
for an empty string "" which I understand represents an EOF in Python.
The text file has some blank lines with spaces and other with blanks.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I'm trying to strip the html and other useless junk from a html page..
Id like to create something like an automated text editor, where it
takes the keywords from a txt file and removes them from the html page
(replace the words in the html page with blank space) I'm new to python
and could use a little push in the right direction, any ideas on how to
implement this?
Thanks!
